Getting messages from the test app

[Guest g35er]

I'm an AutoIt newbie looking at this as a possible GUI test environment. I'm doing a Macromedia Director app and I have two questions.

1. Can AutoIt get messages from the app and react to it? For example, I have a button that plays a sound when clicked. Can I send a "done" message from the app to AutoIt to tell it "I'm done playing the sound."?

2. Can I pass variables to AutoIt from the app? For instance, I want the app to pass values to AutoIt, and the AutoIt script will determiine which button to click based on the values. To phrase the question for you Internet programmers, can it do something like url encoding between the app and AutoIt?
