I know it’s an old article, but great stuff.
Have you tried calling getURL from flash (or Captivate, etc) inside a ConnectPro environment to make JS calls? I have a function working great in Firefox and Chrome, but the function does not fire in Internet Explorer. As usual trying to make things work in IE is 80% of my work . Any ideas?

James, thank you for the insight into the ExternalInterface function. I am trying to get actionscript to communicate w/ javascript. The situation is: I have an aspx page, w/ a login and password at the top and a flash movie as the main active area. When user clicks on a btn in the main area, I need to call javascript from flash to check if user is logged in already or the id and password are valid. From what I know to keep it on the client-side, ExternalInterface is the best option. I thought using this w/in a btn to receive a value through a string, then based on the value returned have an if/else conditional to navigate to the proper frame label…either please login with your username and password, or grant access and go to the appropriate frame. Could you help fill in the blanks? Thanks…..

A bit of a late reaction but in your article you state that ExternalInterface does need a named function to exist.
This is a common misconception, as explained in .
