Upgraded to CS3 - Script not woriking now

Question

Hello. Small ActionScript issue here. I've got a flash
animation embeded in a html file. If at any point you want to skip
the animation and proceed to the next page in the html course you
can by clicking a button. This button contains the following
ActionScript:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:cDone()");
stop();
And when the animation comes to the end:
getURL("javascript:cDone()");
stop();
It's been working fine until I recently upgraded to Flash
CS3. This script seems to work only upto Flash Player 6. What
changes to I need to do to this script to make it work?
Thanks. Help appreciated.

Hi. You didn't mention whether or not you're using the AS2 or
AS3 compiler. I'll assume you're
using AS3.
if you are trying to call javascript functions that are
embedded in the html page,
read the built-in documentation on
ExternalInterface.call()
AS3 seems like alot of extra typing alot of the time, but
it's neat methods for the built in Classes like this that make it
worth the effort.
Adding scripts directly on buttons isn't allowed in AS3.
You'll need to attach a listener with an event handler that
calls your script.
import flash.events.*;
package{
var myButton:Button=new Button();
myButton..addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,loadMyScript);
//function called when myButton is pressed
function loadMyScript(event:EVENT):void{
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunctionName";"parametersToPass");
hope this helps. :)
