Sorry I am new to javascript. I am trying to call an object from inside a function to allow me to get varible from a flash file at set intervals. For some reason the object is not working inside the timer function.

var uid = new Date().getTime();
var flashProxy = new FlashProxy(uid, 'js/JavaScriptFlashGateway.swf');
var tag = new FlashTag('world.swf?data_file=data.xml, 600, 325);
tag.setFlashvars('lcId='+uid);
tag.write(document);
</script>
//flashProxy.call works here:
<p><a href="javascript:flashProxy.call('zoomOut');">Zoom Out</a>
<a href="javascript:flashProxy.call('refreshData','other_data.xml');">Get new data</a>
<p><a href="javascript:flashProxy.call('getZoom');">getZoom</a> | <a href="javascript:flashProxy.call('getCoords');">getCoords</a></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Start the refreshing process
var seconds = 3;
var zoom;
var coords;
//timer loop
function checkmap()
{
//flashProxy doesn't work here
flashProxy.call('getCoords');
flashProxy.call('getZoom');
alert (coords);
alert (zoom);
setTimeout('checkmap()',seconds * 1000);
}
checkmap();
//Returns results here:
function gotCoords(n)
{
coords = n;
}
function gotZoom(n)
{
zoom = n;
}
</script>
To clarify, I am trying to get the flashProxy.call('**') to work in the checkmap() function. Thanks in advance.
