LiveConnect is offered by Java-enabled Netscape 3+ browsers on PowerMac and

Win32.


ActiveX Scripting is offered by ActiveX-enabled Microsoft 3+ browsers on Win32.


No IE/Mac, no Win3.1, no 68KMac, no Java-disabled Netscape, no

plugin-enabled Microsoft, no (to my knowledge) other brands or platforms.


Background: Flash's FSCommand and API talk to and listen to the browser,

respectively. (In Shockwave this would be "externalEvent" and

"evalScript".)

    Some browsers offer the ability to script its plugins/controls. In

Netscape browsers this ability is called "LiveConnect", and in Microsoft

browsers it's called ActiveX Scripting.

    If you are doing such a project, please test each step individually

before combining them... this makes it easier to tell what's going on.
