I think this will clear it up:
"running over network" - I think the original poster meant - remote control. Meaning, an app is running on boxA, and being debugged on boxB. Not sure this is usefull, but hey, it's certainly cool.
*I* took that to mean, " file loaded from a network location " - it's something I put into the list of freatures and talk about with the admintool when I do presentations. So, when I saw this, I thought they were saying "LC's wont work with files loaded from a network location". Which isn't true. Using an underscore makes the connection available to any other SWF employing the same technique. I wish I could tell you *why*, but I don't actually know for sure. It's actually something that's listed in the help but I can't recall what it said (and I'm not at my PC right now).
and as far as I knew, LC used shared memory, not a file, but that's based on other things I've heard, not something I for sure know.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for both responses. Though I still have a hard time thinking about what "over a network" would mean for a "local connection", Jesse's explaination that the underscore matters for cross domain access on a particular box gives me something that my bear-little brain can hold onto.

LocalConnection writes a file to your HD; that's how other SWF's can read it (just like SharedObject). So, it doesn't work over a network. It will work across domains, however, if you prefix it with underscores.

Hello Gents,
I have to say that John's side comment is interesting to me.
>"- LC does not work over a network - "
>LC *does* work over lan/network. You need to preface your connection names with >underscores.
What does it mean to say that a LC works or doesn't work over a network? Isn't it a "local" connection?
I get the sense that I'm missing something important here.
Thanks!
