Phillip,

Looks like a good Shockwave overview but on my system all the text in the
yellow boxes comes up adhoc... usually a letter, line return then the rest
of the line... then a letter, line return then the rest of the next line...
kinda makes for a hard read.

A few things might be causing your problem.

You need to make sure in the object/embed tag that your movie object has a
name (for embed) and ID (for object). Also "live connect=True" in embed:
//within embed:
NAME=flashObj
swLiveConnect=TRUE

//within object:
ID=flashObj


Then, you need your "doFSCommand" to be preceded with "flashObj_"

So it reads:
function flashObj_DoFSCommand(command, args)

Finally, you'll want the standard "hook for IE" in the script area (notice
"flashObj" is repeated here):
//
// Hook for Internet Explorer
//
line = '<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> \n';
line += 'on error resume next \n';
line += 'Sub flashObj_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)\n';
line += ' call flashObj_DoFSCommand(command, args)\n';
line += 'end sub\n';
line += '</SCRIPT\> \n';
document.write(line);
//-->


I'm pretty sure that will fix it... contact me directly if you want a sample
file. For everyone--feel free to check out my annotated shockwave file on
this subject as well as an article on the matter:
