• javascript
• flash
• actionscript-2

• 1 Added the actionscript-2 tag to your question. It's nice to lock people who are willing to answer down to a specific language as this will yield you more accurate answers :) – Marty Commented Nov 14, 2011 at 23:38

An easy way is on the button controls simply call

getURL("javascript:yourFunction();");

The best way to do this is using ExternalInterface. Here's an example:

AS:

ExternalInterface.call("pauseFunction");

JS:

function pauseFunction() {
    alert("Called from ActionScript");
}

1. Import the ExternalInterface library to your action script by using the line:

   import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
   

   Note: without this line you will not be able to call the JavaScript function.

2. Use this mand to call the JavaScript function:

   ExternalInterface.call("pauseFunc", "");
   

3. In your HTML page, add your JavaScript function:

   <script>
   function pauseFunc() {
      doSomthing ...
   }
   </script>
   

use this Action code:

getURL("javascript:ActionJS()");

ActionJS is function on html file
