How to pas parameters to the Extrenalized API call and get the output?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Lets say am attempting to test Login functionality. Since I don't have
controls to get the Flex App UI components values, How do I pass the
Username & Password for the Login test from my test code?
 assertEquals("LoginPage", seleniumIns.getTitle()); 
 flashApp.call("successLogin");             assertEquals(LOGIN_STATUS_SUCCEES,
  flashApp.call("getLoginStatus"));

What I wanted is status = flashApp.call(doLogin("userName", "password"))
assertEquals("true", status)
or if the function returns object, then we need to have a way to verify
objects.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? NA

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
recent flash-selenium-java-client extn on Windows XP SP3 machine

Please provide any additional information below.

In order to call the doLogin Flex function from a test using Selenium RC and
flash-selenium.

First you have to externalize the Flex function. In your example:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("doLogin", doLogin);

Then you can call it from your test code with the following syntax:
status = flashApp.call(“doLogi”,"userName", "password");

How about the call like flashApp.call('@menu.showScreen','test');
I was able to execute the command from the javascript. But when tried to 
execute the 
same from the java client I am getting the error. However the standard method 
like flashApp.PercentLoaded() and flashApp.TotalFrames() works perfectly. 
Please help me.

Trace is attached.
