nope - from technote: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/externalevent_samples.htm
8 None of the above outlined techniques will work in Microsoft browsers (Internet Explorer) on Macintosh systems. Microsoft browsers that are being run on Apple computers utilize plug-ins for embedded Shockwave movies. In order for a plug-in based object to issue an "externalEvent" command that can then be received by a scripted function, the browser must support liveConnect. Microsoft browsers do not support liveConnect and therefore this functionality is not available. Due to this limitation, the "externalEvent" command is ignored when Microsoft browsers are being used on Macintosh operating systems. As for Netscape 7, I have tested in Mozilla 1.1 and N7 w/out success, but, as I haven't really needed this function in a long time, I haven't really put my thinking cap on for it...should do that soon. -evan .seb wrote: > Hi Evan, > > > >>here's a better version of a flash mx swf and a director 8.5 dcr >>chatting with one another: >>http://www.evanadelman.com/swf-dcr-communication/test.html >> >>This completely avoids any server interaction - the mediator between the >>two is of course javascript, and to make it cross browser, you've got to >>know a bit about how the two different browsers handle ExternalEvent >>(for Director) and FSCommands (for Flash). > > (...) > >>I tested my example in Netscape 4.7 and IE 6.0 and everything migrated >>well.
