No, it doesn't throw any kind of error! What happens is that the flash will run by it's default values and will not be affected by the values that 'should' have been passed to it. Well, thanks to that, I thought of creating a dummy flash that runs at the beginning of the flex application. And it will wait for flex to contact it. After being contacted by flex it will send a variable to the parent flex application through another local connection to tell flex that everything is fine and it is OK to proceed. I will try that and report the results later tonight.
