If you are implementing communication between SWF files in different domains, specifying a
string for
connectionName
receiving LocalConnection object more portable between domains. Here are the two possible
cases:
If the string for
connectionName
adds a prefix with the superdomain and a colon (for example,
"myDomain:connectionName"
conflict with connections of the same name from other domains, any sending
LocalConnection objects must specify this superdomain (for example,
"myDomain:connectionName"
moved to another domain, the player changes the prefix to reflect the new superdomain
(for example,
"anotherDomain:connectionName"
objects would have to be manually edited to point to the new superdomain.
If the string for
connectionName
"_connectionName"
the receiving and sending LocalConnection objects will use identical strings for
connectionName
that connections from any domain will be accepted, the SWF with the receiving
LocalConnection object can be moved to another domain without altering any sending
LocalConnection objects.
