hey there,

What I want to do is this: A menu where i can choose my background-image for my html-page (not the background from the swf!). It works fine with javascript, but it doesn’t work in flash (i just read a post that javascript doesn’t work in flash mx). So how can I do this? I guess with XML?

If you want to see what I want to do, go [**here**](http://www.magwerk.com/mag.php?mag=encore). (right bottom - background)

Any help is more then welcome!  
Thanks.
