Could someone please help me troubleshoot this problem?

my page loads a ‘container’ SWF.  
there is an iframe on the page  
the IFrame has links, each link should load a new swf into the ‘container’

main page JS…

\<script language=“javascript”\>  
\<!–  
function thisMovie(movieName) {  
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(“Microsoft”) != -1) {  
return window[movieName];  
} else {  
return document[movieName];  
}  
}

function loadMedical(value) {  
thisMovie(value).medical();  
alert (‘gee, it works!’)  
}

–\>  
\</script\>

Button link in the IFrame…  
\<form\>  
\<a href="#" onClick=“parent.loadMedical(‘movie’);”\>button\</a\>  
\</form\>

Actionscript…

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

ExternalInterface.addCallback(“medical”, null, medical);

function medical():Void {  
unloadMovie(mc\_loadMovie);  
mc\_loadMovie.loadMovie(‘swf/medical.swf’)  
getURL(‘home\_medical.html’,‘textarea’);  
}

I got it to work when the links are on the main page, but not when in the iframe. I’m guessing it a parent window issue? any clues?

Thanks!
