There are a few hacks out there to get Flash to react to something.  
In fact I implemented one of them for work about a month ago, so I  
have a good idea of how to do it. As far as I know FSCommand isn't  
deprecated. In fact, it turns out to be way faster [1] than the new  
(as of Flash 8) ExternalInterface API. Good stuff.
