Shouldn't VBScript be used in place of JavaScript?
http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/fscommand/index.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface_03.html
This is what Adobe typically uses for FSCommand with Flash:
if (navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1
&& navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1 &&
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 3.1") == -1) {
document.write('<script language=\"VBScript\"\>\n');
document.write('On Error Resume Next\n');
document.write('Sub fscommand_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)\n');
document.write(' Call fscommand_DoFSCommand(command, args)\n');
document.write('End Sub\n');
document.write('</script\>\n');
}
If you're using Conditional Comments, you could refactor the above code to
this:
<!--[if IE]>
<script language="VBScript">
On Error Resume Next
Sub fscommand_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)
Call fscommand_DoFSCommand(command, args)
End Sub
</script>
<![endif]-->
If you want to keep it dynamically-generated using JavaScript, I'd use
Adobe's code with an update to the browser sniffer:
var isMSIE = /*...@cc_on!@*/false; //Dean Edwards' "sniff"
if (isMSIE) {
document.write('<script language=\"VBScript\"\>\n');
document.write('On Error Resume Next\n');
document.write('Sub fscommand_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)\n');
document.write(' Call fscommand_DoFSCommand(command, args)\n');
document.write('End Sub\n');
document.write('</script\>\n');
}
I'd also consider using DOM scripting to replace the document.writes, but
that's another conversation.
