I have a javascript file and I’m trying to call a function within the file from within a flash file, but it’s not working. Any ideas? Here is the code from the flash file:

```auto
return_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
 getURL("javascript:parent.populateFrame('lead/lead.html')");
};

```

The .fla is published as a html file and I have the .js file linked with the html file. Any help would be appreciated.
