FLASH: Javascript help

[Cheri Harder]

OK, it is time I learn Javascript.  I used the bloodykisses tutorial to open

a new window.  I put the


<script language="JavaScript">

<!-- function newWindow()


window.open("http://members.home.com/advantagewebsolutions/singles/thisisit.

htm","windowname",toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,height=350,width=600");

 } // -->


</script>


after </title> and before </head> in my HTML page with my main Flash movie.

Within Flash, I put


javascript:newWindow()


in the URL window of the GetURL action and left the "window" box blank for a

resultant code of:


On (Release)

    Get URL ("javascript:newWindow()")

End On


Can't check it in IE because I'm using the 5.5 beta & javascript isn't

working with that.  Netscape gives me javascript error


"JavaScript Error: [unknown origin]:

newWindow is not defined. "


Now, I know that newWindow is the name of the function I just created in the

html document.  What I don't understand is what is telling the Flash movie

to look at the originating html page to find the function?  Or, I guess,

what is _supposed_ to be telling it to look there?  Since it is not finding

that function, I am assuming I've missed a major concept here.
