I have never posted to this forum before but I am about to pull my hair out. Please help. I’ve created a page that used External Interface before with no problems and I can’t figure out what makes this one different. It works fine on both Firefox and Safari on a Mac. On a pc, however, the Flash has no problem calling JavaScript functions but the JavaScript can’t call the ActionScript function. It doesn’t matter if I try Firefox, IE7 or IE6. The error IE gives is that the object doesn’t support the property or method. Here is the AS: ```auto this.createEmptyMovieClip("samplework_mc", 999); function loadWork(workname:String):Void { loadMovie(workname, samplework_mc); samplework_mc._x=0; samplework_mc._y=0; } ExternalInterface.addCallback("loadWork", this, loadWork); ``` [FONT=Courier New] [FONT=Verdana]Here is the HTML/JS: [/FONT][/FONT] ```auto

``` [FONT=Courier New][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/FONT] I would be grateful for any help or suggestions. I can post the FLA(s) if anyone wants to see them. Thanks! ---

I know this is old. But I’m having the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
