Dynamic links in Flash using existing code

To All:

I have run into difficulties trying to incoporporate exisiting navigation into Flash. Any help/advice would be greately appreciated!

I am trying to implement a Flash navigation in place of a sites current navigation. The current links in the html are dynamically created using Javascript and ASP. The link code appears as below:

<a href=&quot;javascript:<%=Namespace(&quot;showContent&quot%>('home');&quot;>HOME</a>

I need to use a similar structure as above for Flash in order to create the links dynamically within Flash, but have been unsuccessful simply adding the above code in a manner such as:

getURL (&quot;javascript:<%=Namespace(&quot;showContent&quot%>('home')()&quot;

I do have the javascript function within the html page that the Flash file is embedded on as well as the ASP function. The Javascript code for the function is as follows:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
doContentSwitch = true;
function <%=Namespace(&quot;showContent&quot%>(content) {
if (content != &quot;&quot {
doContentSwitch = true;
isLink = false;
isLink = (isLink || (content.indexOf('

http://')

> -1));
isLink = (isLink || (content.indexOf('file://') > -1));
isLink = (isLink || (content.indexOf('ftp://') > -1));
if (isLink) {
document.location = &quot;<%=hostPath%>?page=header&headerTabName=url&headerContentURL=&quot; + escape(content);
}
else {
document.location = &quot;<%=hostPath%>?page=header&headerTabName=&quot; + content;
}
}
}
<%
Select Case (selectedTabName)
Case &quot;&quot;, &quot;none&quot;:
contentURL = &quot;&quot;
Case &quot;url&quot;
contentURL = Trim(Request(&quot;querystring:headerContentURL&quot)
Case Else
contentURL = hostPath & &quot;?page=&quot; & selectedTabName
End Select
If (contentURL <> &quot;&quot Then
%>
parent.frames.<%=contentFrame%>.location.replace(&quot;<%=contentURL%>&quot;
<%
End If
%>
</script>


Thanks in advance for any help!
