I know this has been touched on other posts:
http://drupal.org/node/20011
http://drupal.org/node/20934

Still I didn't want to hijack those because they didn't appear to cover this error specifically.
I still have a problm using IE and Tiny_MCE and Img_ast.

Specifically, I get an error when clicking on the camera icon in tinyMCE to insert an image. I get somthing about losing communcation with the parent. It doesn't happen everytime and almost seems sporadic. There might be a connection with having an image and some other html text in a node type's text area as a default value.

I don't have the exact copy of the module versions I am using but i downloaded the latests blessed versions for 4.6 on 1/10/2006 and tried re installing (img_assist and tinymce) with no change in behavior.

Error doesn't happen in fireforx.

You won't have this error with the upcoming 4.7 version.

For 4.6, you can try my rewrite of img_assist:
http://drupal.org/node/32506

I hope to have the 4.7 version done later this week. I'm actively working on it.

thanks benshell, I tried your version of img_assist with tinymce 1.58 (v2.0.3) but got this error:

warning: call_user_func_array(): First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'img_assist_create' was given in /home/user/public_html/drupal/includes/menu.inc on line 354.

I was having the lost communication problem when calling img_assist from tinyMCE's fullscreen window.

any suggestions welcome.

I got benshell's version to work.

Lost window communication error still occurs when calling img_assist from the tinyMCE fullscreen window toolbox.

This happens every time - it's not an intermittant fault.

Is this a tinyMCE issue or and img_assist?

can anyone verify this bug please ? (I'm using Firefox)

it just occured to me to do a search on "drupalimage" and I found some older threads claiming that this problem with img_assist.module had been fixed. Though whether the fix had been tested with the fullscreen tinyMCE plug-in was unclear.

I'm using img_assist.module,v 1.43.2.12 2005/10/25 14:48:24 mathias which I believe to be the latest version for 4.6.x ?

My apologies if this is just me being stupid, but I'm really stuck!

Just to add to the pile, I confirm that I'm having the same problem - and it occurs across all browsers (tested FF, Opera, IE and Avant) and is not intermittent.

As I wrote on http://drupal.org/node/46119...

I am the new maintainer for img_assist, but I am only supporting img_assist 4.7+. I just committed a new 4.7 version of img_assist to the CVS repository. I can guarantee you won't see this error again, because this error isn't even in the code anymore. Img_assist and the drupalimage plugin have pretty much been completely rewritten, so hopefully you'll find that they work better.

I was able to get img_assist and TinyMCE to work in drupal 4.6 by updating the editor_plugin.js file in /modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/drupalimage

I've changed the line
template['file'] = 'index.php?q=img_assist/add&editor=tinymce'; // Relative to theme

to
var textarea = tinyMCE.getInstanceById(editor_id).formTargetElementId;
template['file'] = 'index.php?q=img_assist/add&editor=tinymce&textarea=' + textarea; // Relative to theme

hope this might help anyone who is still having problem.
