Javascript called from actionscript not working properly

Question

I have a flash file that I want to change the background of
an HTML frame when Scene2 begins. The code I have works fine in
Safari and gives the desired result. However, calling it from
firefox own Win IE, results in the javascript being placed in the
address bar, and the name of the bkg image placed in the upper left
corner.
Here is the code in the flash file...
getURL("javascript
ocument.body.background='fork.jpg'");
Here is the URL to the site
http://www.nealstudio.com/ametricstest/flashtest.html
Surely, it's something simple that I'm missing.

yes that's quite correct although you'll find it's much more
robust to
put all your javascript into functions, which should be
stored in an
external .js file. That way, if you need to change anything
you mostly
won't need to go into flash at all, just edit the function in
the .js
file. Having the external .js then allow you to include the
same
functionality on different pages in your site whilst keeping
all
functions in one place.
