fscommand Introduction

FLASHANTS has designed over 50 fscommands for designers to extend the power of Flash. By using these fscommands in Flash design, you can produce Flash movies with the following enhanced features :

• Embeds native Video in Flash.
• Fully controls Video using Actionscripts and fscommands.
• Imports 3D object(cult3D), Real media, and PDF.
• Access system registry information.
• Launch external app and shell command from Flash.
• Control application windows appearance and behavior.

FLASHANTS fscommands are divided into categories:

• Video playback control
  Commands are starting with "fas.control", and used to control video playback such as Play, Stop, Pause, Forward, Backward, ...
  
• Video clip control
  Starting with "fas.avclip", and used to import video in Flash and set the playback attributes such as video position , video size, playback loop numbers, buffering setting, .. etc.
• Event control
  Starting with "fas.event", and used to set the frame label which contains the action scripts to be executed by the video events.
  
• Clip information
  Starting with "fas.clipinfo", and used to get information about video clip.
  
• Audio control
  Starting with "fas.sound", and used to control audio.
  
• ActiveX object control
  Starting with "fas.axobj", and used to import other activeX control such as PDF or Real object. Supported by FMProjector only.
• Projector windows appearance control
  Starting with "fas.win", and used to customize the application windows attributes such as win title, position, style, etc. Supported by FMProjector only.

   

Special Notes for fscommand

1. All commands are case-insensitive. For Example:

fscommand("fas.control.play","") is legal!
fscommand("fAs.COntrol.PLAy","") is also legal!

2. No SPACE or blank character allowed between arguments. For Example:

fscommand("fas.avclip.xy","10,20") is legal!
fscommand("fas.avclip.xy","10 , 20") is not allowed in this version!

3. Due to Flash limitation, using functions to get a property from FMPlayer won't return a value until next frame. For Example:

frame 10: 
CurPos = 5;
fscommand("fas.control.GetPosition","CurPos");
SliderPos = CurPos + 1;

frame 11: 
SliderPos2 = CurPos + 1;

If the return value from "fas.control.GetPosition" is 11, 
then the value in "SliderPos" is 6, and "SliderPos2" is 12.
