I would like to place a SWF in a web page on a server, and have
localConnection work with a SWF on the desktop (localhost).
The following 2 classes work fine when run locally, and fine when run both
online. Is there a trick I can use, or do I need to use XMLSocket somehow
for this?
*SENDER (to be in a webpage)*
package net.ericd.utils
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
import flash.events.StatusEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
/**
* This SWF will reside in a web page.
*/
public class LocalConnectionSender extends Sprite
{
private var conn:LocalConnection;
private var myTimer:Timer;
private var circle:Sprite;
public function LocalConnectionSender()
{
conn = new LocalConnection();
conn.allowDomain( "*", "localhost" );
conn.addEventListener( StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatus );
myTimer = new Timer( 500, 0 );
myTimer.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, ping );
circle = new Sprite();
circle.graphics.beginFill( 0xFF6600, 1 );
circle.graphics.drawCircle( 50, 50, 10 );
circle.graphics.endFill();
circle.alpha = 0;
addChild( circle );
myTimer.start();
}
private function onStatus( event:StatusEvent ):void
{
switch( event.level )
{
case "status":
circle.alpha = 1;
break;
case "error":
circle.alpha = 0.3;
break;
}
}
private function ping( event:TimerEvent ):void
{
conn.send( "lifeConnection", "lcHandler", "hello" );
}
}
}
*RECEIVER (to be local on desktop):*
package net.ericd.utils
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
public class LocalConnectionReceiver extends Sprite
{
private var conn:LocalConnection;
/**
* This SWF will reside on the desktop, local.
*/
public function LocalConnectionReceiver()
{
conn = new LocalConnection();
conn.allowDomain( "*", "localhost" );
conn.client = this;
try
{
conn.connect( "lifeConnection" );
} catch ( error:ArgumentError )
{
trace( "Can't connect, name already in use." );
}
}
public function lcHandler( msg:String ):void
{
trace( "received data: " + msg );
}
}
}
Any ideas appreciated.
