I tested that html page code and it works fine.  I created a test document if you want to check it out.  Just click the green rectangle to have the url appear...

http://www.nedwebs.com/Flash/welcome.html

The swf contains a button mc named "btn" and a textfield named "url".  The code in the swf file is as follows...

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceURL);

function traceURL(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var urlPath = ExternalInterface.call("windowhref");
    url.text = urlPath;
}

You should be testing on a server using the html page if you are not already doing that.

As far as I can tell, the call method is supposed to call a javascript function, an dthat function in turn should return a value.  So maybe you need to create a function in the javascript code that returns the window.location.href string and call that function.

i put this code in HTML but not working

<script type="text/javascript">

function window.location.href.toString()

{

window.alert(window.location.toString);

}

</script>

That function name is likely kicking up a javascript error. Give the function a non-javascript function name...

<script type="text/javascript">

function windowhref()

{

    return window.location.href;

}

</script>
