The Flash Player's API to JavaScript is not in the manual of the Macromedia

Flash authoring application, because it's a function of the Player, which

may have a different development schedule than the core authoring

application. (See the recent printing enhancements, for instance.)


The technotes are good for things like this. If you search the Flash

technotes with keyword "javascript", then you'll retrieve documents like:


"Scripting Methods Supported by the Flash 3 Players"

http://www.macromedia.com/go/13246


"Scripting Methods Supported by the Flash 4 Players"

http://www.macromedia.com/go/13945


Remember, though, that not all browsers let scripts talk to plugin

objects... IE/Mac is the biggest ringer, although Opera or Linux and so on

don't support such abilities either.
