ExternalInterface.call won't work in ie

I’m having some serious issues trying to get externalinterface to work in ie. I’ve looked around and seen that there are problems with ie when the swf is inside a form tag but my swf is not. Also I have set “allowscriptaccess” to “always” and still nothing. It works fine in FF and safari. In ie all i get is a little icon in the bottom corner that says “Error on page” and when I select that it just says something to the effect that there is a syntax error but doesn’t give any helpful details at all.

Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
