I've answered my own question, but in case anyone else ever needs to
know this....it's obvious, but undocumented (at least I couldn't find
the documentation....)
If you want to use an FSCommand in a Flash movie for sending commands
to a browser, but also want to be able to use that same movie in a
Director movie, you can intercept the FSCommand this way:
on getURL me, stringFromFlash, num
if stringFromFlash = "FSCommand:yourFunction" then
Your code here
else
More of your code here
end if
end
or more simply, if you want to ignore the actual FSCommand, and just
want to use the argument:
on getURL me, stringFromFlash, num
do something with num here
end
Obviously you can use a case statement if you plan on using a variety
of FSCommands. In fact, you can completely ignore the actually
FSCommand, and just write lingo to use the arguments, if that is the
only way you plan to use it....speeds up the coding in Flash!
In our case, we are calling all the elements that make up a screen
with the num argument, and can in fact leave the FXCommand empty.
For safety sake, we will put a function name in there, but only plan
to use that one function....
It seems obvious in retrospect that Director would see the FSCommand
as a getURL function, but it sure would have been nice if someone had
mentioned that somewhere in all the Director and Lingo
documentation....
Anyway, thanks for the help,

I originally posted:
I'm working on a director movie that will have all it's navigation
controlled by Flash. This is a single frame movie, with all the
elements added and positioned via lingo. I want to call the various
Director elements that make up the pages using FSCommand, instead of
a lingo command or getURL:event command (which I currently have
working).
The reason for using FSCommand is to avoid re-coding every single
navigation command when we port the project into HTML. As usual, I'm
trying to avoid doing things more than once:-)
I keep reading at various support sites, and in Macromedia's tech
notes that lingo CAN be written that will make use of the output of
FSCommand, but I cannot find any examples anywhere of what that
syntax might be.
Anyone here have any ideas?
Happy to explain more about what we're trying to do, if anyone's interested...
Thanks for the help!
