In order to make a javascript call from AS3, we do this:

```auto
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

ExternalInterface.call("myJavascriptFunction()");

```

What if the function is in a different folder from where the .SWF rests?

Example:

MY.SWF is the root folder on my server  
The java function is in /include folder on my server

Thanks!
