Well, gee whizz. Only one out of the four most common browsers
support FSCommand in the their current releases, and support for
older browsers is spotty:
Netscape 6 - Win - No
Netscape 6 - Mac - No
IE 5 Mac - No
IE 5.5 Win - yes
Maybe of you grabbed them by the ears, pulled them two inches from
your nose and said "WHAT. ARE. YOU. CRAZY?"

Two things you should keep in mind as you're reading stuff is that:
_ you are only communicating from JavaScript to Flash - not from
Flash to Javascript.
_ because you are calling the FSCommand from Javascript triggered by
an anchor mouseover, you will create errors in browsers that don't
support FSCommand unless you have a mechanism in your JavaScript to
prevent the errors.
_ When FSCommand is supported, an error will be generated if the
JavaScript in your text frame refers to a js function or Flash movie
that has not yet downloaded in it's other frame.
Here is an example of FSCommands that generate errors in unsupported browsers:
