Event listener not working - proper placement or syntax?

In a Flash object I have an item (called widgit1) that I'm trying to attach an event listener to. I just want Flash to execute a JavaScript a开发者_Go百科lert though no matter where I place it on the time line, regardless of which layer and regardless of what syntax I've found none of the many MANY combinations I have tried have worked.

Here is the ActionScript I have...

widgit1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.mouseOver,ohhai);

function ohhai() {getURL("javascript:alert('oh hai!')");}

Others have mentioned the syntax error. Beyond that however you want to use ExternalInterface for communication between ActionScript and JavaScript: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html

You need to add

function ohhai(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// etc

}
