Ok, the buttons part makes sense to me.
As for the non-existent function, that's not the case. asFunc is the
name of the function as defined by the ExternalInterface code in
Flash. Here's the actionscript code:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("asFunc", this, asFunc);
function asFunc(str:String):Void {
widthBox.text = str;
}
Thanks for the help.
