lightbox flash integration

[Dark Light]

Hi guys,

I want to load a lightbox gallery from within a flash .swf i no its possible because iv seen it done many times, and iv tried every tutorial on the net, most of which say the same thing, which I have done and it still doesnt work.

So far I have created a javascript delegate which turns the flash command getURL into an anchor tag containing a rel="" attribute. Here is my javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
objLink.setAttribute('href',url);
objLink.setAttribute('rel','lightbox');
objLink.setAttribute('title',caption);
Lightbox.prototype.start(objLink);
}
</script>

I have then used a flash button to call the javascript function, in theory this should load my lightbox, however all that happens is the flash swf disappears and no lightbox overlay or image appears. I no that fksh objects do disappear when lightbox loads, however mine doesnt load. My ActionScipt on the flash button is as so:

on (release)
 {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('1.jpg','caption1')", "_self")
}

If anyone has any ideas what im doing wrong or if iv missed anything obvious I would really appreciate it!!
