Does the object tag have the id "movie1" (not just the embed tag)?
Also, how are embedding the movie, I could be wrong but it think the stoopid active-x activation thing causes problems - try using UFO or SWFObject to embed the movie. The other thing you could try is writing the JS function from inside flash - For example, I use this quite a lot to get the page url: response = ExternalInterface.call( "function(){return document.location.href;}" ); J -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Herrman Sent: 22 March 2007 16:24 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] QT in IE returning null value to flash Hm. I haven't used ExternalInterface at al (I'm stuck with Flash 7), so I'm not really sure what the problem could be. Though you might be able to do it as a callback (have the javascript function call some function in your Flash movie to give it the value). The control flow for that would be a bit odd, but it might work if you can't get it to return correctly. -Andy On 3/20/07, Bob Wohl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yeah, I can alert the value (real fun with a set interval =P).
