Re: FLASH: Javascript help

[Cheri Harder]

Hmmm.... looks like all sorts of ways to achieve the result... I wonder

which is more reliable?  I'm doing a hybrid, of sorts, of what you (Pete)

were suggesting.  I'm putting "javascript:function(args)" in the GetUrl

rather than the FSCommand, and it is finding the function in my HTML page

just fine.  Howsomever, I really think I saw a post ages ago about this not

being a reliable solution due to some browser not handling things the

same....likely IE4.5 on Mac?
