FSCommand isn't the method recommended on p321 of the D7 "Using Director"

manual, although you could capture such messages through the first means

described, if you wish.


(Rephrased, people usually use the "event:" or "lingo:" prefixes described

there... gives you more flexibility in catching the messages.)


Sidenote: If you're using a Flash button to tell Director to go to another

frame, then please check Director technotes with keyword phrase "Flash AND

go", thanks. Generally, it's better if generic messages are passed, without

one object having intimate knowledge of the innards of the other

environment.
