Turns out there were a couple of problems with what I was doing.
I have a class that extends LocalConnection. Inside that class I had
declared the method "onConnection" to call when data is received.
Turns out that you have to assign the receiving method as a property of a
dynamic class, so I had 2 problems. The first was that my method was defined
in the class rather than being added as a mixin at runtime and the second
was that my wasn't declared dynamic which it needs to be to use mixins.
I'll file a bug.
Working AS 3 code below:
**********************************************
package {
import flash.util.trace;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
import flash.display.TextField;
import flash.text.StyleSheet;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public var logField:TextField;
public class LocalConnectionExample extends Sprite {
private var connectionId:String = "_localconnection";
public var gateway:LocalConnectionGateway;
public function LocalConnectionExample() {
logField = new TextField();
logField.text = "";
logField.border = true;
logField.background = true;
logField.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Verdana";
format.size = 5;
logField.defaultTextFormat = format;
addChild(logField);
gateway = new LocalConnectionGateway()
if(gateway.connect(connectionId)) {
gateway.onConnection = onConnection;
logField.text += "LocalConnection receiver\n";
} else {
logField.text += "LocalConnection sender\n";
logField.text += "Sending:: 'Test data'\n";
gateway.send(connectionId, "onConnection", "Test data");
}
}
public function onConnection(data:String) {
logField.text += "Data Received:: '" +data+ "'\n";
}
}
private dynamic class LocalConnectionGateway extends LocalConnection {
public function LocalConnectionGateway() {
logField.text += "Gateway created.\n";
addEventListener(StatusEventType.STATUS, onStatus);
addEventListener(SecurityErrorEventType.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError);
}
private function onStatus(event:StatusEvent):Void {
logField.text += "onStatus: " + event + "\n";
}
private function onSecurityError(event:SecurityErrorEvent):Void {
logField.text += "onSecurityError: " + event.text + "\n";
}
}
}
