if thats not your problem, then try try calling the alert with a setTimeout. i had a problem a little while back with alert, and calling it with setTimeout solved it. also, in your example, you really dont need to define a javascript function for a simple alert. try this: ExternalInterface.call("alert", "Some message."); if thats giving you problems, call it with setTimeout, like this: ExternalInterface.call("setTimeout", "alert('some message');"); On 9/18/06, Mendelsohn, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
