[Flashcoders] LocalConnection problem...
I have two .swf's in a web page - one is embeded in the body of the page and the other is loaded into an iFrame on the same page (it is not embeded in html.). I want to send and receive data from the first one (a menu) to the second one but no luck... I know that both LocalConnection objects are created and that the sending function is being called but the receiving LocalConnection object does not get the message...both return 'localhost' as their domain. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks, -Boyd ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] LocalConnection Problem
Is anyone aware of problems using a localConnection on different
browsers and on Mac versus PC? I'm working on a project in which I have
two Flash files running on an HTML page and the first file sends a
"cookie" to the second file using a localConnection. The complication is
that the first file loops a series of secondary Flash movies in and out
and when each of those movies switches, it needs to send a new frame
number to the second movie. I've been working on this for several weeks
and have gone through several versions of the files, some of which work
on Firefox/PC, some work on IE/PC, some have occasionally worked on the
Mac browsers. Code in the sending file is below. Also below is a link to
the HTML page that is holding the two movies.
Not an expect AS programmer, so I won't be insulted by any major
critiques of the code. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sending File Code:
var frames:Array = new Array("2","62","122","182","242","302");
var clips:Array = new Array("images/bars/bar1.swf",
"images/bars/bar2.swf", "images/bars/bar3.swf", "images/bars/bar4.swf",
"images/bars/bar1.swf", "images/bars/bar2.swf");
waitDelay = 7.5; //in seconds
imageCount = -1;
frameCount = -1;
onTop = createEmptyMovieClip('holder_1', 1);
onBottom = createEmptyMovieClip('holder_2', 2);
onTop._alpha = 100;
onBottom._alpha = 0;
holder_1._lockroot = true;
holder_2._lockroot = true;
loadNextImage = function () {
onBottom.loadMovie(clips[imageCount=(imageCount+1)%clips.length]);
//send the next frame number - WORKS PERFECTLY IN
TESTING ENVIRONMENT BUT NOT IN BROWSERS
function sendFrameNumber(bnum){
outgoing_lc = new LocalConnection();
outgoing_lc.send("lc_test", "testme", bnum);
delete outgoing_lc;
}
sendFrameNumber(frames[frameCount=(frameCount+1)%frames.length]);
//fade the images
onEnterFrame = function() {
if (onBottom._width>0) {
crossFade(onTop,onBottom);
onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
}
waitTime = function (seconds) {
waitId = setInterval(function() {
loadNextImage();clearInterval(waitId);}, seconds*1000);
};
loadNextImage();
function crossFade(clip1,clip2) {
cross = function (clip1, clip2) {
clip1._alpha -= 5;
clip2._alpha += 5;
if (clip2._alpha >= 100) {
temp = onTop;
onTop = onBottom;
onBottom = temp;
clip1.swapDepths(clip2);
waitTime(waitDelay);
clearInterval(fadeId);
}
updateAfterEvent();
};
fadeId = setInterval(cross, 2, clip1, clip2);
}

Thanks, a, But I have taken a different approach using ExternalInterface which seems to work now... - Original Message - From: "allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com)" Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 10:59 am Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection problem...
