I will post my Flash Action Code and my Flex 2 Code...I get no errors and the button label does change...the SWF just doesn't stop...it does nothing...Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong????? ---FLEX Code------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" initialize="initApp()" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html"> <mx:SWFLoader source="file.swf" x="265" y="10" width="141" height="120"/> <mx:Button id="stopResumeButton" x="265" y="169" label="Stop" click="stopOrResume()"/> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.net.LocalConnection; private var swfState:String = "play"; private var lc:LocalConnection; private var fromSWF:LocalConnection; private function initApp(): void { lc = new LocalConnection(); fromSWF = new LocalConnection(); fromSWF.client = this; fromSWF.connect("swf2Flex"); } private function stopOrResume() : void { if( swfState == "play" ) { stopResumeButton.label = "Resume"; lc.send ( "swf8connector", "stopFile" ); swfState = "stop"; } else { stopResumeButton.label = "Stop"; lc.send ( "swf8connector", "resumeFile" ); swfState = "play"; } } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> ---FlASH Action Script----------------------------- var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); lc.stopFile = function() { stop(); } lc.resumeFile = function() { play(); } lc.connect("swf8connector"); --- In [email protected], "Hilary Bridel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here is great example (by Peter Ent) of localconnection applied between Flex > and SWF v8 > http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2006/07/using_actionscr.cf m > Hilary > > -- > > > On 7/13/06, Derek Vadneau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > You could use ExternalInterface to communicate between the two.
