hello,

Im using this code to change the HTML background color from Flash:

In Flash:

```auto
on (release) {
        getURL ("javascript:changeBgColor('#ff00ff')");
}

```

In HTML:

```auto
 
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeBgColor(newBgColor)
{
// alert('newBgColor : ' + newBgColor);
if (window.document && window.document.bgColor)
{
document.bgColor = newBgColor;
}
}
-->
</script>

```
