Hi Dane,
Have you tried just calling alert using ExternalInterface?
Since I'm not sure where the problem might be occuring, here's another
technique for calling javascript functions from as3:
replace
ExternalInterface.call
("MM_openBrWindow",fileNameToGo,'popupwindow','scrollbars=yes,width=760,height=400');
with
flash.net.navigateToURL(new
URLRequest('javascript:MM_openBrWindow("'+fileNameToGo+'","popupwindow",
"scrollbars=yes,width=760,height=400");'));
Hope this helps.
