Can we have a re-cap? I see mention of two swfs. Are both SWFs calling connect with the same connection name, or is the first SWF calling connect but the second SWF is calling send? If both are calling connect, is there a third SWF that will call send?
Did this ever work on IE? LocalConnections can get stuck sometimes and a reboot often clears up the problem. Closing every Flash instance clears up a stuck LC as well, but you have to be careful about Flash instances running in various browsers and find and close them out.
