We have a whole site written using LocalConnection in AS 3, however, one of our managers wants us to use a component that was written in AS 2 for a menu bar. Is it possible to have the AS2 menu utilize LocalConnection to trigger functions in our AS 3 LC listener?
definitely....put the component in a separate SWF, load it in and you can communicate w/ it using LocalConnection...you can have the component trigger functions in AS3 code and vice versa.
anything to it? or just name it the same channel and send?
yeah, make sure channel name is the same, you can send parameters w/ function name (just look at the Flash documentation) and the trickiest part I remember was making sure the "client" property was set correctly. Again, look at the help doc.
