[Flashcoders] sending simple messages between swf files

2007-06-17 Thread August Gresens

Hello

Simple, quick question

We are building a game that contains mini games. We want to create the
mini games as separate swf files to load into our main swf.

We need the mini game swfs to send a message to the main swf that it has
finished.


From reading the docs, one way to do this is by using the LocalConnection

method.

Is this the preferred method of doing this kind of thing? Or is there
another way?

Thanks,

August

if your movies are loaded into your main.swf, the movies have access to
classes and _root variable. So, you can use singleton, and call static
methods of classes defined in your main.swf from your games.swf.

Maybe, you can also give a look at exclude.xml They prevent the code of
your classes of being duplicated in main.swf and games.swf.
