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.
