The dispatcher doesn't need to know it's a unique ID. It just sends a unique ID which is then picked up by the listener.
So, let's say you have 5 swfs listening to channel "Rock". They all want to hear Rock, but they also need to hear advertising to their local area. So, you would pass a unique ID as an argument and the listeners would then parse it out so you might send "Area1" as the unique ID and "Area2" as another ID and in your receiver script the swfs would determine if the message was for them or not by checking for the argument. A long time ago, I wrote a LocalConnection class. It might be of use for researching purposes. It's written in AS1 but I think it's a decent starting point for learning more about LC. It supports sending methods and arguments across LC, including the target, as well as a test method "ping" to make sure the connection is alive, and if it isn't it will reconnect. http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2003-May/076262.html BLITZ | Steven Sacks - 310-551-0200 x209 _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
