Javascript and Flash (defining variables properly)

Question

OK, I'm curious if from flash can you call client side
JavaScript functions that exist outside the flash?
I'm trying to get something to work (there's another post
about it on here) but when I click the submit button, it doesn't
seem to be trying to call the javascript function with the
information I have the flash module collecting... any
ideas/help?

Answer 1

Well, now I have it working somewhat, but the variables I've
defined along the way aren't being passed through. I guess my new
question would be how to properly define the variable and collect
the information as the user goes through, then call it into the
function at the end when they click the submit button.
Example... right now I have people click their selection and
the button is supposed to collect that variable selection and send
them on to their next selection option:
on (release) {
a="Bare";
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay("37");
//End Behavior
Then they do that a few more times with different options...
At the end, when they click submit, this is what happens:
on (release) {
var strProductCode = "'" + a + "','" + b + "', '" + c + "',
'" + d + "'";
var strJavaScriptCall = "javascript:SubmitCustomBoot(" +
strProductCode + ");";
getURL(strJavaScriptCall);
But the info going to the cart is missing the variables.
Obviously, I'm not getting those collected properly.
Ideas??? :)
