Where can one find a parameter listing for dispatchCommand?

I got it, it's really possible to "publish from the commandline" with DMX2004 and windows.
this is how:
1) create a little dir (e.g. 240 * 32 px) with the following frame-script on frame 2 or later:
on exitFrame cl=the commandLine if cl.word[1] = "-p" then tell the stage go movie cl.word[2] dispatchCommand(4104) quit() end tell end if end
mark this movie as "dockable" in the display template settings, save it (e.g. as "publish.dir"), close director, put it in director's xtras folder, restart director, open the movie (miaw xtra) and "dock" it to some permanently visible panel.
done.
from now on, whenever you start director from the commandline (DOS box) with a line like
Director.exe -p test.dir
director will popup, open test.dir, publish it (with the last choosen publish settings) and quit again. if you open it normally (without the "-p" switch) nothing has changed.
to optimize the publishing speed, you can also duplicate your director folder, and in the duplicate folder which is only meant for commandline publishing throw away everything that is not really needed, especially all the authoring xtras. AFAIK the only xtra that is definetely required for director to start is the Text Xtra, and of course you need the UIHelper.x32 xtra, plus the xtras that are needed for your movie (test.dir). In my test such a "minimal director" opened, published and closed really fast.

Is there a way to build projectors and/or shockwave files without having to use the GUI interface in Director? (i.e. I'm looking for a command line interface)
I'm working on a project that uses both .NET and Director components. For the .NET portion I'm using build scripts that automaticaly compile my exe's, copy files in to the correct places, etc. However, I'm still having to build each of my director components by hand. (In other words, start Director, and use the menus to publish the movie.) I'd like to include building of my director exe's and dcr's in my build script.
Anyone aware of any solutions for this?
