Calling Javascript (k)

After searching the web for a while I discovered that the
getURL("javascript: method I'd used in the past is not secure.

There's a new method that I don't understand at all.

Has anyone successfully done any Javascript connection through Flash
since the April 2008 security update?

If so, how do you do it?

I just tried simpler javascript that I got right from the Adobe website:

getURL("javascript:alert('you clicked me')");


It doesn't work either. Any thoughts? This happens in Safari and Firefox 3

That code should work. Any thoughts why it doesn't:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:ChangeState('link2')");
}

Your version didn't work(thanks, though).

That technote is beyond my knowledge of ActionScript. It also appears to
want Javascript to control Flash. I need Flash to control a Javascript
Function.

Any other ideas?

You could use:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:ChangeState('link2')");
}
