I have a movieclip button called ‘theimage’ which is constantly being updated to launch a getURL with two different functions at separate times. Those two JavaScript functions are called ‘oldmovieplayer’ and ‘video’.

So far it works with one catch: If the actions are being launched by _only_ the ‘oldmovieplayer’ or _only_ the ‘video’, it will perform the JavaScript function. However, if it is being updated to call these two JavaScript functions in a mixture, only the first JS function will perform.

‘theimage’ movieclip button is being updated by six buttons which tell it to gotoAndStop on 6 frames. These 6 frames update the ‘theimage’ movieclip button with the two different getURL(“javascript:x”); commands.

I am not sure if the problem is arising because:

1. I am setting up the way Flash updates variables in an inefficient and illogical manner.

2. The AS syntax that I am using is incorrect

3. The JS syntax that I am using is incorrect

4. or other issues that I am not aware of

Any suggestions or tips would be helpful.

You can also download the FLA, SWF, and HTML here:
