LocalConnection is asynchronous. I don't know how mProjector got synchronous code in flash 7, it had to be some very clever hack. However, synchronous calls are supported natively in flash 8 (via ExternalInterface, which communicates with the host using a documented XML format I believe).
SharedObject writes to a file, but I don't know if the format is documented anywhere. I'm pretty sure LocalConnection does something in memory, and doesn't go through files. But I don't know all the details on how these are implemented internally. -David R On 4/26/06, JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hrm...
