You can use Flash Player methods to control a SWF file in Flash Player from web-browser scripting languages such as JavaScript and VBScript. As with other methods, you can use Flash Player methods to send calls to SWF files from a scripting environment other than ActionScript. Each method has a name, and most methods take parameters. A parameter specifies a value upon which the method operates. The calculation performed by some methods returns a value that can be used by the scripting environment.
Two technologies enable communication between the browser and Flash Player: LiveConnect (Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later on Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP or Power Macintosh) and ActiveX (Internet Explorer 3.0 and later on Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP). Although the techniques for scripting are similar for all browsers and languages, there are additional properties and events available for use with ActiveX controls.
