as3 calling a javascript function

programming flash
1

Hey there–

I’m trying to have a javascript function called when a button in my swf is pressed. But nothing is happening.

I’ve tried both of these, and neither work:

Any help would be appreciated. Javascript is my achilles heel.

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openDiv);
function openDiv(e:MouseEvent)
{
ExternalInterface.call('$("div.box").show("slow");');
}



import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openDiv);
function openDiv(e:MouseEvent)
{
ExternalInterface.call('javascript:$("div.box").show("slow");');
}
