Aren't web service calls asynchronous, or am I missing something? I mean,
you typically have to set up a result function to handle the web service
response. Calling the service should not hold the function.
In any case, I'd expect you'd have to handle this like follows:
//javascript
function call(){
swfObject.call();
}
//flash
function call(){
}
function callBack(){
getURL("javascript:callBack();")
}
//javascript
function callBack(){
//this would be called when the service response is recieved.
}

setInterval is a handy way to break scope.
Have the AS method called by JS set an interval for let's say 10ms, and
then have the method assigned to the interval take care of business.
Javascript will be free and Flash will keep on going.
