117920 - 4x-Scriptable plugin sample not work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Ahmed Abdullah]

I'm working on a web-based project for IBM which intended to support all types 
of browsers (I.E & Netscape).
The work includes a plugin for Netscape that contains functions to be called 
from Java Script.
The plugin works properly for Netscape v.4.0 ,v4.78 and v.6.0.
When I use the plugin with v.6.1 and v.6.2.
The plugin fails.
so I investigated in that issue and found that the architecture of Plugins 
changed in those versions.
I downloaded the sample plugin from Mozilla site (modules/plugin/samples/4x-
scriptable)
Compile it using Mozilla environment.
Put it in plugins directory of Netscape.
Launch Netscape.
The Javascript calls didn't work and produces Javascript errors 
(function xxx not found)
I use the same plugin with Mozilla Browser (v.0.9.7) it produces the same 
error .

What can be the cause of that problem and how can I resolve it,or is it a known 
bug.

This problem is urgent for my work,and if not solved as soon as possible The 
product will not support the new versions of Netscape.

Thanx for your help,

Yours,

I verified that scripting is working using SDK samples. REQUIRES already added
there, so it should compile as is.
