When there is a xxxx_FSCommand (IE) on that page (with xxxx being the
movie name/id) or xxxx_DoFSCommand respectively (Mozilla), then that
function can be called via FSCommand() and receives command and
parameters.

Internet Explorer only works with the xxxx_FSCommand version being
implemented in VBScript(!), but that doesn't matter for Gnash.

Basically these are the same:

fscommand("say", "hello);

getURL("javasript:mymoviename_FSCommand('say','hello')");

AFAIK, fsCommand is the preferred way to communicate with JavaScript.
The getURL trick is used mostly to bypass some Flash security
restrictions...

For an example see
