Message-passing speed varies with the browser, varies with the individual

computer too. (IE/Mac, for instance, would take a very long time to trigger

a Flash routine from JavaScript.)


You might consider setting a Flash frame rate which all your visitors'

machines can achieve for that content, and then triggering that script on

each frame advance. For instance, if your piece can play at eight frames

per second on all target machines, then a script on every other frame will

execute every 250 milliseconds.
