swf communication

[J_Buda]

is it possible to have 2 swfs, that are not in a browser window.... communicate with each other?

If not, how would this be possible?

[panel]

LocalConnection class

Send

import flash.net.LocalConnection;

private var _localConnection:LocalConnection;

_localConnection = new LocalConnection();

_localConnection.send("ConnectionName" , "someFunction", Paramateres.partId);



Recieve

import flash.net.LocalConnection;

private var _localConnection:LocalConnection;

_localConnection = new LocalConnection();
_localConnection.connect("ConnectionName");
_localConnection.client = this;
_localConnection.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STAT US, onStatus);

private function onStatus(event:StatusEvent):void
{
switch (event.level) {
case "status":
// trace("LocalConnection.send() succeeded");
break;
case "error":
//trace("LocalConnection.send() failed");
break;
}
}

public function someFunction(partId:Number):void
{
trace("someFunction")
}

thanks for the reply...

Do the swfs need to be embedded within a html document? or can they just be 2 swfs sitting on the desktop?

LocalConnection objects can communicate only among SWF files that are running on the same client computer, but they can be running in different applications — for example, a SWF file running in a browser and a SWF file running in a projector. (A projector is a SWF file saved in a format that can run as a stand-alone application — that is, without Flash Player.)

Hi

have implemend this into 2 separate swf.

And im getting this errror...

Error #2044: Unhandled StatusEvent:. level=error, code=

I have the send function in one document class, and i have crated another document class the other swf with the receiving code that you posted.

Both the swf files are in the same directory too

Ah I did it with many instance of the same swf so it worked for me but I am guessing that you have to also add StatusEvent listener in 'Send swf' (the same way as in Recive)

i have just added an error hanlder for the sender, as it seems to fail just sending it. I put a trce for the event, and its just display this...

[StatusEvent type="status" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 code=null level="error"]

Not sure what the problem seems to be.

Could you help me?

Jusr read your last post, not sure i know what you mean with regards to the same swf but many instances?

Ignore my last posts....

Just realised that the receiving swf was not playing at the time.

Your code worked fine, thanks!
