Re: [flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader how to access host application

[Angus Johnson]

You can use Application.application to get a reference to the host application. This is the top tier application so if you have nested a stack of SWF's this is the shortest way to get to the top. parentapplication gets the immediate parent but you can also step up the hierarchy using that property.
Also check out applicationdomain and securitydomain / trustContent to ensure that your applications can talk to each other.AngusPS need AS3 apps for aboveOn 19/07/06,

            Thanks, man,I've seen LocalConnection examples, but I assume that it is faster/more secure/etc. to talk directly, if swf is loaded inside some other swf and they are both AS3. From host to loaded swf (when this is loaded/initialized) it is quite simple, like it is described in help (
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000543.html
), but I would like to talk from loaded swf to host. I'm still waiting if somebody know if this is possible and how to do it.MilanOn 7/18/06,

            Milan, you may be light years ahead of me...I don't know. However, I 
was working on getting my Flex app to communicate with my loaded SWF 
and the only way I could accomplish this was to use LocalConnection. My 
Host app can send and listen from the loaded SWF and vica versa...

I don't know if that helps, hope it does
