I found a solution that appears to work. I had the same problem. A
simple localConnection call worked fine with standard embed code, but
stopped working when I used SWFObject (v1.5).
Instead of defining the localConnection name inside the flash, pass it
in as a flashvar using SWFObject and then things are fine.
OLD FLASH CODE:
// Code in the sending movie
sendingLC = new LocalConnection();
sendingLC.send("lc_arrow", "startArrow");
// Code in the receiving movie
receivingLC = new LocalConnection();
receivingLC.startArrow = function() {
_root.arrow.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
receivingLC.connect("lc_arrow");
NEW FLASH CODE:
// Code in the sending movie
sendingLC = new LocalConnection();
sendingLC.send(lc_name == undefined ? "lc_arrow" :
lc_name,"startArrow");
// Code in the receiving movie
receivingLC = new LocalConnection();
receivingLC.startArrow = function() {
_root.arrow.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
receivingLC.connect(lc_name == undefined ? "lc_arrow" : lc_name);
And then add this line to your SWFObject code:
so.addVariable("lc_name", "lc_arrow");
I have no idea why it works, but it does.
