I'm not sure of the first part of that post, but for "How can I trigger a

VBScript handler from the Macromedia Flash Player?" then only IE/Win will

offer this, and your regular FSCommand action triggers it.


Background: In IE/Win the page's VBScript can catch messages sent from

ActiveX Controls. In most FSCommand examples the VBScript handler just

routes into the page's JavaScript routines, but if you're just designing

for IE/Win then you can handle the VBScript message right there.


If memory serves VBScript offers two message-catching styles: one where the

sending object's name is specified in the event handler (as in the example

you cited), but there's also another method where the message is caught

directly. I'd defer to Microsoft's documentation on catching messages from

ActiveX Controls in IE/Win's VBScript for best details.
