FLASH to vb

//I have flash exe with the following code:

on (release) {fscommand("toggleon_off");}

//The fscommand that I use to exec the VB exe works fine.
//In Vb I am using the following to catch the fscommand from my flash exe.

Private Sub flashmov_FSCommand(ByVal command As String)
If command = "toggleon_off" Then
command = "@" & "asdf" & vbCr and
End If

MSComm1.Output = command
End Sub

//if this matters:

Private Sub Form_Load()

With MSComm1
.Settings = "9600, N, 8, 1"
.CommPort = 7
.RTSEnable = True
.PortOpen = True
End With

End Sub

//USEFUL INFO?? Shockwave OCX = movie1; flash exe = flashmov and I am attempting to send a serialcommand to an external device via this Vb program
//this is not working for me. Can someone point me in the right direction?

//also, will the same control receive multiple unique commands from the same movie?
