QWebView Javascript to Flash SWF not working

package {

public class SwfTest extends Sprite {

    public function SwfTest():void {
        ExternalInterface.marshallExceptions = true;
        try {
            ExternalInterface.addCallback("createFunction", create);
            ExternalInterface.addCallback("greetFunction", greet);
        } catch (error:Error) {
            trace("error creating callback functions");
        }
    }

    public function create():void {
        ExternalInterface.call("receiver.onLog", "createFunction called in actionscript");
        ExternalInterface.call("receiver.onCreated");

    public function greet(name:String):void {
        ExternalInterface.call("receiver.onGreeting", "Hello "+name);
    }
}

}

I made an html page with the correct object/embed tags that also has javascript with the receiver object defined as having methods per the ExternalInterface.call() functions in actionscript (onLog(), onCreate(), onGreeting()). If I open the page in Firefox, it behaves as expected.

So far so good...

I stripped out the javascript from the swftest.html and saved it to swf.html (per the url in WebView::init()). None of the evaluateJavaScript() calls worked. It seems as though the swf was never loaded? The html was loaded. The browser version of the html works (where the javascript receiver object is embedded in the page).

Is there a way to tell when a swf gets loaded into webkit? I'm stumped.

Here is the html source that works in firefox.
