ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Complex Objects Via LocalConnection?
Feb 13, 2009
Is there a way I can pass complex objects like sprites or timers through LocalConnection? It seems like you can naively pass simple objects like String, Number, Array thru the LocalConnection. But I can't seem to send other data types.I read that you have to use the method "registerClassAlias()" within the receiving SWF file before that SWF file can accept complex objects. For example, when I attempt to send instances of Sprites or Timers, I get the following error:
"Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:.text=Error #2095:flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback sendState.error=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@b9210b1 to flash.utils.Timer."
How can I send complex data types or are some data types not send-able?

I was wondering is it possible to pass an array through the localConnection in flash? My local connects connect my flash application with the javascript and passes variables between them.

Passing a complex type to PHP with AMFPHP 2. This 'sort of' works, sort of in that I can pass an AMF object to a service, and I can echo that object back to Flex/Flash, but I cannot access the contents of the object in PHP.
A simple service
[Code]....
We get null. - Now I am assuming this is some sort of serialization I am missing, does anyone know what it is?
Edit - also worth noting when passing an Array to AMFPHP I have no problems accessing the data

Okay, there is something that I don't quite understand. I built a flash contact form in Flash CS4 and embedded the swf in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I upload the files in my server but why it's not working? I created a test folder in my folder and it does work... (It doesn't work here) [URL] The problem is that I'm not receiving the information when the user enters and submits the information on the contact form. I do receive the information on the test link. I'm posting the Flash AS and PHP Code to see if anyone can point out any mistake that I'm doing.

Is it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.

I have been trying to fix my collision handling for hours now, but it seems like I am running in circles. To be blunt, my collision handling sucks. It is easy to break, and hardly works on complex objects(like water in my case, see the test at megaswf . com / serve / 1577272)
For collision detection I am using the collision detection kit, or CDK.My level is made up of different large MCs, such as a "wall" MC containing all of the smaller walls, such as water, a tree, or a wall. CDK allows me to hittest the single walls by hittesting the large one, and not each one individually, making it easier for myself.My code has a lot of repetition(8 directional movement), so I will put a "//..." to simplify.
Main.as:
ActionScript Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip[code]......
I have literally been working on this all day, and only feel like I'm making it worse every time I change something. You don't have to spoon-feed me code, the idea should be enough...

The first one (FLEX application) sends a message on a dedicated LocalConnection to a second one (Flash application). The Flash then answers by sending a message on another dedicated LocalConnection. This message is not directly received by the FLEX and the delay is at least 30s, up to 1 or 2 minutes! It seems the issue only occurs with Flash Player >= 10 and it never occurs with Chrome.
I didn't find anything on the web concerning a similar issue nor something in Flash Player release notes. Did someone already have this kind of problem?
By the way, is there any tool that can be used to sniffer LocalConnection communications?
Additional information:
swf are located in different frames swf are embed with swfobject I tried to delay the Flash sending, I tried to create another LocalConnection dedicated to this call but I always had same result: for all calls, the FLEX method is called after the same delay. I also put a timer in FLEX to periodically log to see if there is no background process delaying the method processing but everything seems fine

Are there any libraries for animation groups of objects in as3? I need something like this: for example, I specify an array of images and creates the animation of all objects in the array - fireworks, the spiral vortex, 3D rotation, undulating, etc. Tweenlite and other libraries not fit, because there is no pattern complex motion.
I need to quickly apply complex animation paths to the set of objects.

have a imageHolder_mc wich is calling the image from the local drive / server, and this container is inside of PictureHold_mc and that inside of Image01_btn.image01_btn.pictureHold_mc.imageHold01_mcand all this for 1 image tobe displayed in the website. But I am going to have something like 300. This is for example HomePage to ProductPage to SpecificIndividualProduct.I have created an instance but DO I NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL _btn and _mc all the way down? Or is there any better ways.And next question. I have done Home Page with 18 images called from the local drive but despite of Preloader showing 100% loaded page look empty for about 30 sec. and suddenly all images starts popping out ramdomly.

I am using PHP to save an AS3-generated XML document to my server. This works absolutely fine. Now, I'd like to be able top pass a filename along with my URLRequest under which the file would be saved.
When doing this in HTML it would be pretty easy and I would simply POST 2 seperate values, but how to do this in AS3?

So i a building a categorized menu of different foods. I have a class for "categories" (buttons) which essentially will return a string "salads", "drinks", etc. I now have another class "menuItems" for items within categories and this handles sizes such as "small", "med", "large", etc. My problem now is that when i return "salads", i want to invoke an array which contains all the elements of salads, send it to menuItems which will populate the menu. So far i have both the category objects and the menu object setup. I just cant seem to be able to send the data that the category object is returning and pass it to the menu object. Both of which are added to the stage as shown below:
If there was a way that i could say add all these classes to one class so that they can talk to each other that would be great but i dont know how to do this.

I wrote a code for handling google maps in a multi touch table. On the map itself, I have a sort of button that, if touched, makes a tool bar show up. On the bar I have a slider and a button, both of them activated by touch events. My problem here is that when I touch objects on the bar, the touch event pass through the bar and it is fired also on the map below, making my map move. Uff, this is very annoying.

I have a relatively simple localConnection between three swfs: one swf is an image gallery; another swf controls the playback of the image gallery; and the third displays xml-driven captions from the image gallery.Everything works flawlessly in a PC environment, on all browsers, using AS 2, flash player 9. But when I test in a mac environment, the captions will display on load, but it will no longer show if you refresh the page; only a cache clear and refresh will bring it back, but the same issue will happen again. The navigation doesn't work at all, ever (though the swf is loaded and visible).

I have a Flash object on my site, which has this code:
this.ld = new LocalConnection();
this.ld.allowDomain("*");
ExternalInterface.call("alert", this.ld.domain);
It alerts my domain successfully. However, what I want is to access the HTML DOM through this using LocalConnection and not ExternalInterface directly.

I'm having a little issue with LocalConnection - trying to communicate from one SWF to another. From my main SWF I've loaded an external SWF of same dimensions ( effectively replacing the main SWF). What I wanted was then to re-load the main SWF, but rather than have the main SWF play from the start, I wanted to go to a specific frame instead (I used a frame label called "myMarker"). Thought LocalConnection was the way to go to achieve this. Gave it a shot and it all works well locally BUT when uploaded to server it doesn't work, but throws the following error:-

limits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.

I'm having huge bug issues with LocalConnection that nobody seems to be able to find errors in my code/files. So... I'm looking for an alternative. I need a main swf file to load an external swf including the ability to have it move from one frame to another. If this isn't a possibility, I can also just have the main swf hide/reveal a div or just an image in the html.

I need dozens of AS2 Flash swfs I wrote to communicate with an AS3 swf. My code below is on the "wrapper" AS3 swf, which loads the lesson1_activity3.swf AS2 swf. This is then further nested into an Adobe Captivate-generated swf (that's what the rdcmndNextSlide method is for).
This configuration works the first time you see the wrapper/child swf together, but if you navigate back to the slide, the child swf doesn't load. I'm guessing that Captivate has all the objects still stored in memory, so it thinks I'm trying to declare var again, which I can't do. Is that it? Does anyone see the issue with my code that would make it work the first time the wrapper is loaded, but not subsequent times?
