You need to call a function on the other side, not run eval of a string. Of course, the one function you put in could eval the string you pass in

When I call from a Flex swf to the host aspx page, do I have to have a javascript function that will answer? Can I directly access a hidden field on the page from Flex? I would like to do something like this: ExternalInterface.call("window.document.getElementById('hidBVPerm').valu e"); But the aspx page thinks that is the name of a function I am passing. I want to know if there is a way I can just get the value of that hidden field without having to write a javascript function? Thanks, Pete
