getURL --javascript stops working under Flash 8

flash actionscript: I have ran into a strange problem that I hope is simple to diagnose. I have
done many projects where the Flash object calls a Javascript in the parent web
page using a simple getURL method, like this:

getURL("javascript:resizeSWF("+40+")");

That has worked fine for years. But I have noted when publishing these
projects as Flash 8, that call no longer reaches the Javascript function (the
Javascript does not execute). Publishing as ver 7 or earlier is fine. Am I
missing something obvious here, or is there a new security restriction in Flash
8 that prevents directly communicating with Javascript functions? Thanks

You need to test it online. Change in flash player as well as IE and FF security
no longer allow Flash - JS - HTML on desktop. You need to upload it to server and
test in real time. Should work just fine.

I'm having a similar issue, but the javascript I'm calling within Flash is the
show/hide layer js from Dreamweaver. It works fine inside FF, but the same
behavior has no effect in IE6/7. And I couldn't get my swf/js to integrate
exporting as a Flash 8 movie on either the desktop or the server. I had to
downgrade to Flash 7 to get it working at all inside FF and Safari.

Here's a link to see it in action (only Carroll and Troup counties are active);

Any ideas on why IE isn't working?
