Duno if your still having a problem, but are you running from editor? Cause the "open" consol command doesn't work if you are just testing the map through play in editor.

ohhhh so i had to open the map via unreal fronted to make the command work?

well i start the map on unreal fronted but it dont work but if i write the command in the console it works

Your syntax is wrong

("FlashToConsole","open YourLevelNameGoesHere");

Hey I'm having the same problem and my syntax seems to be corrrect.


import flash.external.ExternalInterface;


function OpenOptionsScreen()
{
gotoAndPlay("OptionsScreen");
}

function StartNewGame()
{
ExternalInterface.call("FlashtoConsole", "open Prison_Prototype_3");
}

function ExitGame()
{
ExternalInterface.call("FlashtoConsole","quit");
}

Exit_mc.addEventListener("click",this,"ExitGame");
NewGame_mc.addEventListener("click",this,"StartNew Game");
OptionsButton.addEventListener("click",this,"OpenO ptionsScreen");
NewGame_mc.focused = true;


stop();

I got my start menu button work via a round about unrealscipt method. I would much rather work in actionscript primarily. Let me know if somethings wrong with my flashtoconsole commands....

To be able to help you, we need more information. What is your UnrealScript? The External Interface calls must be intercepted by UnrealScript. I assume you have:

1. An UnrealScript class for this SWF that extends GFxMoviePlayer
2. A function in UnrealScript called 'FlashtoConsole' that expects a single parameter.
3. This function fires off a console command using the parameter.

Does that sound right?
