Hi all

Having some problems with the new update of the flash player. Seems that getURL doesn’t work and you have to use a new function. I am trying to get this to work but I am having trouble.

import flash.external.\*;

ExternalInterface.call(“firstNarrationCheck”,pageNumber);

This is the code we have.

Problem is…

When you click on a button it needs to open another html window.

Yikes can someone help me please…
