LocalConnection problem with Popup page

[deep_flash]

I have tried a lot to get this thing done but no success.
What I am trying to do is to send some variables from SwfA to SwfB. Both swf's are in seperate domains. In my SwfA, I am using a getURL to open SwfB in a pop up window. So now after SwfB is completely loaded in the popup page it has to send some variable to SwfA.

This is the code,

Anyone who can help?????

Hello? Anyone there?

use an underscore in your lc instance names. check the send() method of the lc class to read about connections between different domains.

but i am already using underscores(as you can see in the above code). Also i cant find any mistake in my send() method

[kglad]

the help files are there to help you. read that section so you can see how lc works when communicating between different domains.

thanks. I will look into it.

[kglad]

you're welcome.

kglad, I checked the help files. I cant really figure out where i am going wrong(if any) with the above code. One thig I understand from help section is that I should be using allowDomain when interacting between different domains.

[deep_flash]

WOW.. it worked !!! Thanks a TON, kglad..... But can you please tel me why?? Should i "always" use underscores?

[kglad]

change beginconnection to _beginconnection in both swfs and retest.

from the flash help files:

As discussed in the entry LocalConnection.connect(), Flash adds the current superdomain to connectionName by default. If you are implementing communication between different domains, you need to define connectionName in both the sending and receiving LocalConnection objects in such a way that Flash does not add the current superdomain to connectionName. You can do this in one of the following two ways:

Use an underscore (_) at the beginning of connectionName in both the sending and receiving LocalConnection objects. In the SWF file containing the receiving object, use LocalConnection.allowDomain to specify that connections from any domain will be accepted. This implementation lets you store your sending and receiving SWF files in any domain.
Include the superdomain in connectionName in the sending LocalConnection object--for example, myDomain.com:myConnectionName. In the receiving object, use LocalConnection.allowDomain to specify that connections from the specified superdomain will be accepted (in this case, myDomain.com) or that connections from any domain will be accepted.
Note: You cannot specify a superdomain in connectionName in the receiving LocalConnection object--you can only do this in the sending LocalConnection object.

Perfect... Thanks a lot 🙂
