Hi All,

I’m trying to use ExternalInterface.call() to access a function from an outside domain that I have linked in my html page. Is there anyway to do this?

```auto

<script type="text/javascript">
        var flashvars = {};
        var params = {};
        var attributes = {}; 
        params.allowscriptaccess = "always"; 
        params.bgcolor="#ffffff";
        //params.wmode = "transparent"; 
        swfobject.embedSWF("index.swf", "flashContent", "919", "600", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf",flashvars, params, attributes);
        </script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="swfaddress/swfaddress.js?html=true&amp;strict=false"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://myousidedomain/myscript.js">

```

I’m able to access local (embedded and linked) js functions but not outside functions…Any help?

Thanks in advance!

-Nixon

Iclude the js page that contains the function on the same page the flash movie is on.
