Hi,

I am trying to call a Javascript function in flash. I am able to call the function using the following code:

```auto
ExternalInterface.call("alert"); 

```

I have a flash movie and I want the javascript function to be called when the movie finishes but the code above calls the function at the beginning. Would anyone be able to tell me how I would get this to work the way I want it to? I’ve tried to find it but having no luck ☹
