Thanks for info. Surprise to me. I have always used local names with the second parameter, when scripting adobe plugin.
I just tested this with ASV3, and setting works. For my surprise, getting does not. image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "xlink:href", "http://whatever"); image.getAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "xlink:href") is not there image.getAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "href") == "http://whatever"; Yet another bug in ASV3? I wonder then what's wrong then with the original script. In my experience, checking that no parameter is undefined has solved a lot of problems.

There are examples using this syntax in the CVS repository (e.g., samples/tests/spec/scripting/use.svg). Vincent.
