I have a strange problem with an ExternalInterface call throwing me an error when it executes.

Error Message

Line:1
Char:98
Error:'null' is null or not an object
code:0


AS3 - pretty standard I am throwing a variable just so that nothing is 'null'
function getVid(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var nothing = "abc";
ExternalInterface.call("ShowVid",nothing);

}

Here is the ASP and JavaScript code

<script type="text/javascript">

var newsrc = T.src.replace("_off", "_on");
T.src = newsrc;
}

function RollOff(T) {
var newsrc = T.src.replace("_on", "_off");
T.src = newsrc;
}

function ShowGame() {
$.nyroModalManual({url: '#UltimateRace'});

// document.getElementById('closeBut').style.visibili ty='visible'

}

function ShowVid(e) {
alert(e);

// $.nyroModalManual({url: '#videoOver'});
//document.getElementById('closeBut').style.visibili ty='hidden'
}

function removeVid() {

$.nyroModalRemove();
}

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#videoOver").flash({swf: 'swf/videoOverlay.swf', wmode: 'transparent', width: '700', height: '400'});
$("#UltimateRace").flash({swf: 'flashGames/swf/Main.swf', wmode: 'transparent', width: '742', height: '542'});

});


</script>



The UltimateRace works fine
but the one called with flash throws that strange error.

I am not an avid ASP guy so I am in uncharted territory here, any help would be great.

Thank

I found that the problem was old the old style of embedding flash.

I published the it again using CS4 and swapped out the HTML

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST THING I TRIED!

from this:

Thanks to the two guys that looked at it, hopefully someone in the future will find this helpful.
