lc = new LocalConnection();
lc.connect("MyFlashServer"); //Give it a unique name
//Define callable methods
lc.sayHello = function(s: String): Void
{
trace(s);
}
In Flex 2:
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
var lc: LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
lc.send("MyFlashServer", "sayHello", "hello world"); //Server name, method name, argument
That's the basic mechanism. Note that this is one-way communication. You can't return a value from sayHello() back to Flex. If you need two-way communication, you'll have to set up another LocalConnection but reverse the client and server.

I have reached that kind of conclusion myself reading through the archives. What I miss is an example of how to do this, since the documentation is not very complete. I also searched the net without any luck.

Flash 8 SWFs and Flash 8.5 SWFs run different versions of Actionscript,
and cannot communicate directly.
You need to build a layer using LocalConnection to proxy communications
between the two different virtual machines.
(Once the next version of Flash Authoring is out, this won't be
necessary.)

Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing methods/properties (Flash 8
movies in Loader component)
Hi,
maybe it would be better if I specified what it is that I am
trying to do.
I am developing an application that loads external Flash 8
movies that contains some movieclips, methods and properties. I load
them into a Loader component like this:
<mx:Loader id="detailClip" source="assets/IC51030.swf"
width="650" height="400" />
How can I access a method in the Flash 8 movie loaded into the
Loader component???
I saw the thread below but I am not able to grab the solution
from these bits and pieces of information. Could somebody help me
please. I need this to work otherwise I have to abandon Flex for this
project and move back into Flash. I really would prefer to make it in
Flex.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Torben Nielsen
