Calling JQuery Function From Flash

I'm trying to call an external JS function from flash using the ExternalInterface.call() method in action script. The function should open a modal window that has been written in j

Solution 1:

If attaching lightBox to something which isn't a link it should be

$.simpleLightbox({...})  // with the "." after $

IF that doesnt work you could alter the lightBox plugin source, but this could be troublesome if you wish to update to a newer versions later.

This is a workaround that should work:

<a class="hidden" id="dummylink" href="#">&nbsp</a>

//on ready
$('#dummylink').simpleLightbox({...});


function openMapWindow(locationURL) {
   $("#dummylink").attr("href", locationURL).trigger('click');
}
