Sorry if this shows up twice. I thought I already answered this, but OE
shows no trace of it. The short answer is that you can use the javascript
protocol with geturl. There are at least two other methods, but not all of
them work in across all browsers and Flash versions. The long answer
involves detecting the Flash version with script and there are exactly zero
competent examples of this on the Internet. Adobe's own "future-proof"
deployment kit is one of the worst, which should tell you something.

BTW, don't use Flash unless absolutely necessary (and it is never absolutely
necessary.)

There are 3 ways to call javascript from Flash.

#1 - You can do this: getURL("javascr ipt:alert('hell o world')");
Note, this can result in a "navigation click" sound on Windows/IE.

#2 - use an FS command (this needs the JavaScript to be FS command aware).

#3 - Use the Flash8+ ExternalInterfa ce

You'll get more useful help for Flash from one of the Adobe support forums.
