Javascript call from inside Flash, within a Facebook Canvas App

I have a Facebook Canvas iframe app. In that, I have a SWF object which needs to call a javascript function which is defined in my main facbebook app body. The call is not being made, I'm guessing Facebook are stopping it.

There must be a way around this?

I am doing a test call like this from Flash (AS2):

getURL("javascript:alert(1);");

Do I need to try and capture the facebook iframe and use that in Flash?

I knew there was a way around this. Put the flash in a HTML document and set document.domain = x. In the body of the Canvas app, also set the same document.domain = x. Then use an iframe to show the flash's HTML document.

The flash then can make javascript calls and interact with your canvas app as needed.

you need to use ExternalInterface class:
ExternalInterface Documentation

it's easy as ABC. for example this line of code will execute
the alert javascript function.

ExternalInterface.call("javascript:alert();");
