Interesting. Most of the examples I see use getURL. Even Cristophe's HTML-InIFrame-Over-Flex solution has the fscommand lines commented out and is using getURL!
So far, we have been able to control the browser, but are there any other advantages?

But you can do something similar, as described below: For what it's worth, some of the various browsers *did* return JavaScript values to plugins after receiving a "javascript:" pseudo-URL. I haven't tested whether any of the current browsers work like this. But like all that underdocumented stuff, it worked in some browsers, didn't work in others, and was subject to side-effects in many cases (didn't work with WMODE on, etc). Some of the browsers *do* offer a documented, tested, and supported plugin/browser intercommunication scheme, and where such an ability is offered the Macromedia Flash Player has exploited it, under the general "FSCommand" interface. I see lots of people continue to promote "javascript:" pseudo-URLs and this worries me, just because of the great variability of browser support for this ability. jd -- John Dowdell .
