A string specifying the name of the method to be invoked in the receiving
method
LocalConnection object. The following method names cause the command to fail:
,
connect close
Optional parameters to be passed to the specified method.
p1,...pN
Returns
A Boolean value:
Note: A return value of
receiving LocalConnection object; it means only that the command is syntactically correct. To
determine whether the connection succeeded, see LocalConnection.onStatus.
Description
Method; invokes the method named
LocalConnection.connect(connectionName)
object). The object used with this command is called the sending LocalConnection object.
The SWF files that contain the sending and receiving objects must be running on the same
client computer.
There is a limit to the amount of data you can pass as parameters to this command. If the
command returns
requests into multiple commands.
As discussed in the entry
connectionName
domains, you need to define
LocalConnection objects in such a way that Flash does not add the current superdomain to
connectionName
•
Use an underscore (_) at the beginning of
receiving LocalConnection objects. In the SWF file containing the receiving object, use
LocalConnection.allowDomain
accepted. This implementation lets you store your sending and receiving SWF files in
any domain.
•
Include the superdomain in
example,
myDomain.com:myConnectionName
LocalConnection.allowDomain
will be accepted (in this case, myDomain.com) or that connections from any domain will
be accepted.
Note: You cannot specify a superdomain in
object—you can only do this in the sending LocalConnection object.
Example
For an example of communicating between LocalConnection objects located in the same domain,
