hello all, i have been reading here and there, but i cant seem to understand what i have been doing wrong…

im simply trying to implement an actionscript function that could be called by a link outside of the flash movie (ie with javascript)

i followed tutorials on how to use the ExternalInterface.addCallback method, but i cant seem to make it work…

maybe a second set of eyes can take a look and let me know if i overlooked something? thx if you have the time.
