The Mac IE and Win 3.1 browsers do not include any Script communication

Either Live Connect or ActiveX is required to allow communication

between Flash and JavaScript.


One possible alternative is to use Movie Clip logic and not JavaScript.

Many Flash animations using scripting can be recreated using nested MCs.
