Javascript Integration Kit question

Hi guys..im tryign to make a call from javascript to an actionscript function using the javascript and flash integration kit. The flash file is called index.swf. And the code in the holding page is as follows:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScriptFlashGateway.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var uid = new Date().getTime();
	var flashProxy = new FlashProxy(uid, "JavaScriptFlashGateway.swf");
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<script type="text/javascript">
    var tag = new FlashTag("index.swf", 550, 400); // last two arguments are height and width
    tag.setFlashvars("lcId="+uid);
    tag.write(document);
    flashProxy.call("showAlert", "my string");
</script>
</body>
</html>

In my flash file index.swf I have a function

Code:

function showAlert(){
	tName.text = "hello";
}

All the files index.swf,index.html,JavaScriptFlashGateway.swf, and JavaScriptFlashGateway.js are in the same directory...

however the flash function does not seem to get called... has anyone got any tips or ideas why?

Thanks in advance

Note: the javascript integration kit can be downloaded from http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/ ..all the documentation is contained within the package..

pardon my ignorance but what's the difference between the integration kit and external interface?

Is there a chance you are using flashProxy.call() before the .swf is loaded?

sorry should have mentioned..im using mx 2004 not flash 8..as far as im aware the external interface class is available for only for flash 8 onwards ..

Is there a chance you are using flashProxy.call() before the .swf is loaded?

Thats what i thought intially so i created a button on the page(so i could call the function after the swf has loaded)

<img src="hello.jpg" onclick="javascript:flashProxy.call('showAlert', 'my string');" />

however this still does not work!!
