Can a button in an Animate CC window talk to the webpage it's in?

[Screenhog]

I have something I've made in HTML5 that's going to be part of a webpage. I'd like it be able to send a message to the webpage that it's in (for instance, changing a block of text that's below the HTML5 object). Is this possible?

Yes, any JavaScript in the page should be available to call. Something like this in the page:

function doAlert(message){

   alert(message);

}

could be triggered from anywhere in your Animate FLA by doing:

window.doAlert("hello world");
