Ah Ha! Found it. The problem was in my flex code, in the callback. I defined it 
as taking one parameter, an event. Just to make sure that wasn't the problem, I 
put in a default value of "null" for the parameter, but that's not the same as 
having no parameter at all. So, when JavaScript called it with no parameters, 
Flex didn't recognize the same signature, and stopped (if I could run this 
through the debugger, I probably would have found that).

So, note to self. Setting a default parameter as null is not the same, 
signature-wise, as sending no parameters.

Thanks to Paul Anderson for his help.
