386 Chapter 12: ActionScript Dictionary
Usage 1: To send a message to Flash Player, you must use predefined commands and parameters.
The following table shows the values you can specify for the
command and parameters
parameters of the
fscommand action to control a SWF file playing in Flash Player
(including projectors):
The
exec command can contain only the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period ()., and underscore
(_). The
exec command runs in the subdirectory fscommand only. In other words, if you use the
fscommand exec command to call an application, the application must reside in a subdirectory
named fscommand.
Usage 2: To use the
fscommand action to send a message to a scripting language such as JavaScript
in a web browser, you can pass any two parameters in the
command and parameters parameters.
These parameters can be strings or expressions and are used in a JavaScript function that
“catches,” or handles, the
fscommand action.
In a web browser, the
fscommand action calls the JavaScript function moviename_DoFScommand
in the HTML page containing the SWF file. The
moviename is the name of the Flash Player as
assigned by the
NAME attribute of the EMBED tag or the ID property of the OBJECT tag. If you
assign the Flash Player the name
myDocument, the JavaScript function called is
myDocument_DoFScommand.
Usage 3: The
fscommand action can send messages to Macromedia Director that are interpreted
by Lingo as strings, events, or executable Lingo code. If the message is a string or an event, you
must write the Lingo code to receive the message from the
fscommand action and carry out an
action in Director. For more information, see the Director Support Center at
www.macromedia.com/support/director.
Usage 4: In Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other programs that can host ActiveX
controls, fscommand sends a VB event with two strings that can be handled in the environment’s
programming language. For more information, use the keywords Flash method to search the Flash
Support Center at www.macromedia.com/support/flash.
