The Netscape browsers have two-way communication between applets and

scripts. The Microsoft browsers for PCs let scripts talk to applets, but

not to catch messages from applets. (The MS/Mac browsers don't let things

talk to each other.)


You should be able to achieve what you want in the Netscape browsers by

searching their docs with "LiveConnect". In the Flash Player outgoing

messages are handled by FSCommand, and incoming messages are handled by the

JavaScript API: play(), setVariable() and the rest.
