I want to change the title in the browser from a button in flash but I cant get it to work

It works when I test it with alert (the variable gets passed correctly from flash) and when calling it from the html file but not when I call it from flash.

Anybody got a clue?

```auto
<script type="text/javascript">
function setTitle(theTitle){
  document.title = theTitle + " FLASH PORTFOLIO";
  //alert(theTitle); alert works from flash
}
 setTitle("ABOUT ME");
//works from the html
</script>

```

```auto
//actionscript
getURL("javascript:setTitle('test');");

```
