actionscript 2 localconnection talking to actionscript 3 localconnection

[paragonc]

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?

[absolutezero342]

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.
