is it possible to route events from flash movies to javascript?

[brothercake]

Say there's a flash movie on the page, and I know there'll be a function on the page it's embedded in; is it possible to call that function from an event inside the flash movie?

How about a java applet?

IIRC there is a method in ActionScript that goes by the name getURL(). It can be used to trigger a javascript function by using that pseudo-protocol, so you can do

getURL("javascript:myJSFunction();")

to call a function that's defined in the page. No guarantee for the correctness of the syntax, but it's documented in the Flash API documentation.
