I got it to work, It was the way the embed tag was labeled and the way
IE was interpreting window vs. document. This little snipet helped
with beating back the monster IE is -
function thisMovie(movieName) {
setDisplayClosed()
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
return window[movieName]
}
else {
return document[movieName]
}
}
ExternalInterface.call() seems to work fine, it appears that IE has
the most problem with locating the functions set from flash with
ExternalInterface.addCallBack(). Also wasted a little bit of time
debugging localy before I realized that it only will work when testing
from a server. I guess that's one of the hurdles in the learning
process when dealing with a foreign technology (to me at least)
=)
Thanks for the replies!

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;}" );

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.
