I'm trying to add an onClick handler to an embedded object. The handler needs to execute a function which is in an external .js file which is linked to the current html file via <script src=....

Do I need to reference the function differently due to it being located elsewhere?

Here is the code as it currently stands (which does not work, but also does not produce any errors):

<embed src=svg/button.svg id=buttonEmbed width=95 height=53 

type=image/svg+xml onClick=buttonEvent('buttonClicked')/>
