This are actually two examples in one. First I will show how to call a Javascript function from your Flex Application. The second example will be a direct execution of Javascript code from your AS3.

Calling Javascript can be done easily using the ExternalInterface class. I have used this in my Flex Comment Form to refresh the screen after the comment is placed.

This post is not an example, but a showcase! As you’ve seen, we have been creating WordPress Plugins in Flex for a while now, which you can download for free.

While creating these plugins, we have learned that Flex and WordPress are a powerful combination, which we should use more often. A while ago, I was looking at our website, and saw our comment form, which was not really impressing me. So I started creating one in Flex.
