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;}" );

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.
