Can you Connect 2 SWFs on a page?

Astrum!

If i have two movies.. 1.swf and 2.swf on a page.. can i affect behaviour in one of those from the other?

For example.. i click a button in 1.swf and the image changes in 2.swf ... possible ?

localConnection is where it's at. Here's an example that uses it to change the text in a textfield on a different SWF. You can quite easily adapt this to swap images.

That really worked! Thanks! That's amazing.. localConnection definately reduces the whole JavaScript & FSCommand route & load..

No worries :)

Can the localConnection() be taken a step further ?
What if the two SWFs are not on the same page, but different HTML files in a FrameSet ? Can we get them connected somehow?

Well actually it just worked.. without a problem.. even with the 2 SWFs on seperate HTML files in a frameset!

Thanks.
