Subject: FLASH: FS Command Bug?
From: Stephen Ingrum
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 04:45:30 GMT

I can't seem to get any FS Command to work in frame 1.
(what I really want is a Director-like on prepareMovie)

Basically, I have a sound loader swf file that needs to read
a cookie to find out whether the cookie has been set to audio=1
or audio=0.

The work around was to put the Command in frame 2-
which works MOST of the time, but not always over a dial-up connection.

So, now I have to use (in frame 2)
FS Command ("checkcookie") // which just checks the cookie and tells the
flash file to advance to 1 of 2 different frames
goto (frame 1)

Why don't FS Commands work in frame 1?





to duplicate the problem
in frame 1:
FS Command ("alert", "This is frame 1")

in frame 2:
FS Command ("alert", "This is frame 2")

I only get the second alert panel- even local.
If I insert a frame (shifting 1 to 2, etc...), I get both panels.


Below is my HTML.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--
var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
// Handle all the the FSCommand messages in a Flash movie
function test_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
var testObj = InternetExplorer ? test : document.test;
if (command=="alert"){
alert(args);
}
}
// Hook for Internet Explorer
if (navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1 &&
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1 &&

navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 3.1") == -1) {
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> \n');
document.write('on error resume next \n');
document.write('Sub test_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)\n');
document.write(' call test_DoFSCommand(command, args)\n');
document.write('end sub\n');
document.write('</SCRIPT\> \n');
}
