Does anyone know if there are any tricks to having two AIR applications
(captive runtime) on the same computer talk to each other via LocalConnection?
Receiver;
private var _lcReceiveConnection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
public function startLocalReceiveListener():void
{
_lcReceiveConnection.allowInsecureDomain("*");
_lcReceiveConnection.allowDomain("*");
_lcReceiveConnection.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS,receiveLocalStatus);
_lcReceiveConnection.client = this;
try
{
Alert.show("_lcReceiveConnection connecting-" + _strApplicationID,"Listening");
_lcReceiveConnection.connect("TestSend");
// _lcReceiveConnection.connect(_strApplicationID);
}
catch(err:Error)
{
Alert.show("err.message" + err.message,"startLocalReceiveListener");
}
}
private function receiveLocalStatus(event:StatusEvent):void
{
Alert.show(event.level,"receiveLocalStatus");
}
public function receiveLocalMessage(strMessage:String):void
{
Alert.show(strMessage,"receiveLocalMessage");
}
Sender;
private function getNextApplication(strApplcationID:String):void
{
txtOutput.text += "Checking If " + strApplcationID + " is open.";
_strCurrentApplcationID = strApplcationID;
_lcSendConnection.allowInsecureDomain("*");
_lcSendConnection.allowDomain("*");
_lcSendConnection.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, sendLocalStatus);
trace("Sending to:" + strApplcationID);
_lcSendConnection.send("TestSend","receiveLocalMessage","Are you there?");
//
_lcSendConnection.send(strApplcationID,"receiveLocalMessage","Are you there?");
}
private function sendLocalStatus(event:StatusEvent):void
{
_lcSendConnection.removeEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, sendLocalStatus);
txtOutput.text += "Message to " + _strCurrentApplcationID + " reports " +
event.level;
Sender status event.level is always "error." and the message never gets to the
Receiver.
