Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 ActionScript Language Reference

fscommand2 function

fscommand2(command:String, parameter1:String,...parameterN:String) : Void

Lets the SWF file communicate with the Flash Lite player or a host application on a mobile device.

To use fscommand2() to send a message to the Flash Lite player, you must use predefined commands and parameters. See the "fscommand2 Commands" section under "ActionScript language elements" for the values you can specify for the fscommand() function's commands and parameters. These values control SWF files that are playing in the Flash Lite player.

The fscommand2() function is similar to the fscommand() function, with the following differences:

  • The fscommand2()function can take any number of arguments. By contrast, fscommand() can take only one argument.
  • Flash Lite executes fscommand2() immediately (in other words, within the frame), whereas fscommand() is executed at the end of the frame being processed.
  • The fscommand2() function returns a value that can be used to report success, failure, or the result of the command.

Note: None of the fscommand2() commands are available in Web players.
