RE: [flexcoders] localConnection not working from Air to Air

[Kevin Benz]

There is a security context that runs between Air applications that you
need to make happy. Air expects to share a security token between caller
and callee in order to accept the transport.

 

As a fast-track, I would explore Arthropod to see their discussion of
security integration between Air and their debugging Air app.

Subject: [flexcoders] localConnection not working from Air to Air

 

Any hints on getting a localConnection to work from AIR to AIR?
It works from FLEX to FLEX, I am using the code from the livedocs
example. I am getting a statusEvent of 'error'.
thanks,
