Thanks Lee, You are correct! The following works:
var titleStr:String="window.document.title='"+userName+"'";
ExternalInterface.call("eval(" + titleStr + ")");

Subject: Re: setting page title dynamically using ExternalInterface.call()

your example becomes
...call("eval('window.document.title='myUsername')'"); and eval argument
string has inner and outer sets of '' - if JS is fine with that, ignore
