Andy,
from the docs
LocalConnection.send(connectionName:String, methodName:String, args:Object)
Martin,
You have things a bit in a weird order in the receiving swf.
Also, "receiving_lc" outside and inside the initialize function are 2
differenct variables/instances.
"receiving_lc" in the initialize function is local to the function, because of
the var keyword.
And nested functions are a 'no no'..
If you're coding in the main timeline, try this:
//begin code
import mx.utils.Delegate;
function setMP3(file:String, type:String){
this.my_display.setMedia(file, type);
}
var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
this.receiving_lc.setMP3 = Delegate.create(this, this.setMP3);
this.receiving_lc.connect("myConnections");
// end code
if you prefer using an initialize function:
//begon code
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var receiving_lc:LocalConnection;
function setMP3(file:String, type:String){
this.my_display.setMedia(file, type);
}
function initialize(){
this.receiving_lc = new LocalConnection();
this.receiving_lc.setMP3 = Delegate.create(this, this.setMP3);
this.receiving_lc.connect("myConnections");
}
this.initialize();
// end code
In the sending swf:
var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sending_lc.send("setMP3", "inmylife.mp3", "MP3");
regards,
Muzak
