Yeah, that was plan B. I was curious, though, if it were possible without embedding a proxy SWF. Thanks! On 4/26/06, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have one SWF embedded in the VB app that exposes the LocalConnection. Hey can talk to VB via ExternalInterface. Every other SWF can talk

Hrm... I think SharedObject LocalConnection both write to a file that you could check, but not really sure. I think that's how mProjector managed to get syncronous code, not sure. Darron might have something here: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000151.cfm I coulda swore someone

I want to offer a basic counterpoint to this: what if the question is just from a beginner, who has in fact researched a problem found the documentation/resources incomplete in some way? Is it just because a person is a beginner that you will not offer help? Case in point, and be patient with me.

2006-04-26 Thread David Rorex
LocalConnection is asynchronous. I don't know how mProjector got synchronous code in flash 7, it had to be some very clever hack. However, synchronous calls are supported natively in flash 8 (via ExternalInterface, which communicates with the host using a documented XML format I believe).

I can't say for sure whether LocalConnection writes to a file or not, but I did want to point out that it can be pretty slow, depending on the number of swfs talking to the gateway swf at once. It certainly SEEMED like it was doing some file IO. In my experience, 10 or 12 swfs talking to the

David is correct, LocalConnection does not write to a file--it uses shared memory. I'm not an expert on LocalConnection, but it doesn't surprise me that you can experience some latency if a dozen SWF files are all sharing memory with a single gateway SWF file. The beleaguered gateway SWF would

I don't know if this will help you, but what I usually do to circumvent this type of problem is remove the FLVPlayback (FLVPlayback.unloadMovieClip();) completely in between videos and reattach it with a new video contentPath. That seems to clear up any weird problems with multiple videos.
