I think what Mike was getting at was that a SWF hosted on Server A could talk to a SWF hosted on Server B via LocalConnection, provided they were running simultaneously on the same client machine. SWF A could talk to Server A, SWF A could talk to SWF B, and then SWF B could talk to Server B - kind of a "bucket brigade" of data transfer.
For this to work, there are some Flash Player security sandbox issues that you'll have to address. Check out LocalConnection.allowDomain and LocalConnection.allowInsecureDomain. -tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Rodecker Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 9:03 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] self published. ah, i think i am going to have to correct you mike. a LocalConnection is for allowint two swf's running in two separate windows on the same machine to talk to each other.
