Calling an “external function” from script in a screen, it get called but the UI doesn’t get rendered. Just a blank grey page.

Is the function implemented in Javascript? What does it look like? And what does the external function definition look like?

Implemented it in mobl and it could just be empty like this:

function helloworld() : void {

}

and declared in another module like:

external function helloworld() : void

Using alert() or log() inside this function works.

ok, well usually you don’t use it for mobl functions, but in this case it will have to be an external sync function helloworld() : void because there’s no asynchronous calls performs in the helloworld function.
