Can't get ActionScriptVoid to work

[Tanax]

Hello!

I'm trying to get ActionScriptVoid to work so I can call an actionscript function from unrealscript, but it's not working.
Currently it looks like this:

From my HUD-class

`log("Before HudMovie.CallAddItem");
HudMovie.CallAddItem();
`log("Woho");

In my HudMovie-class

function CallAddItem()
{

	ActionScriptVoid("AddNewItem2");

}

function InventoryItemNotAdded()
{

	`log("InventoryItem not added");

}

In my actionscript

public function AddNewItem2():void
{
			
	ExternalInterface.call("InventoryItemNotAdded");
			
}

It prints out

Before HudMovie.CallAddItem
Woho

but not the

InventoryItem not added

so I'm not sure what's going on and why it's not working.
I've set the actionscript-class as my "document class" in the flash-file so it should work.

Try
ActionScriptVoid("_root.AddNewItem2");
Think of _root as the main timeline.
If you're using ActionScript 3, try 'root' rather than '_root'.

If the function you're calling is inside a MovieClip, then you'll need to do
ActionScriptVoid("_root.myMovieClip.AddNewItem2");
where 'myMovieClip' is the 'instance name' you've given it.

and if it's in a MovieClip within a MovieClip try
ActionScriptVoid("_root.myMovieClip.myOtherMovieClip.AddNewItem2");
et cetera...

This did not work. Tried both "_root" and "root".
I should perhaps mention that the Actionscript is located within a separate .as file which is set as the "Document Class" in the .fla file.

Solved it!

I knew it had to be some other problems with this other than how I accessed it since I received a "None" when fetching "root".
I forgot to put in

HudMovie.Advance(0.f);

Cheers for the help guys
