ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedded Flash Movie Not Working In IE 6 / 7

I have an embedded flash movie that runs an AS function that runs a javascript function on the html page when you push a button. However, it only works in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Is there a workaround for IE 6 & 7?

My javascript is:
Code:
Select all<script>
navArray = new Array();
navArray["home"] = "../index.aspx";
navArray["about"] = "../about.aspx";
navArray["contact"] = "../contact.aspx";
[Code] .....

My actionscript is:
Code: Select allimport flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function homeLink(e:MouseEvent){
ExternalInterface.call('navigate', 'home');
ExternalInterface.call('window.close()');
}
