I'm working with LocalConnection now and having some issues. I'm trying to load and control some Flash 8 movies with some success. I'm first loading in a proxy Flash 8 file, and then loading the movies into there. I'm calling functions in the proxy file which basically tell the loaded movies to go to certain frames, etc. I have been down this route and had good inital success but couldn't get it to work reliably as a Flash project. There was extensive discussion about this on flashcoders (this isn't specifically a Flex issue.) It seems to work most of the time but every now and again I get weird "undefined" traces in the Flex IDE. I have a lot more testing to do but I'm not sure how the Flash 9 debugger tries to debug AS2 in a Flash 8 file. One important consideration was leaving enough time for the AS2 side to settle down. I found that sometimes I would pass information to the AS2 side via the connection but the AS2 wasn't properly initalised and ready to handle it, so I added some delay to ensure that everything was ready on the AS2 side before the AS3 tried to control it. Good luck. Eventually I rewrote the whole thing in AS2.. (because I had AS2 swfs that I had to work with). This should really be in your own thread.. Paul Thanks, Brandon Snip
