I've been searching around for a working version of a flash localConnection tutorial for hours. I have yet to find a functioning example. Unfortunately, I'm also unable to find any verification that this is due to some new security feature, or other known issue (aside from the very common multiple open browser issue). Seems that this is a problem that has slipped through the cracks and isn't being addressed anymore. Is there some new way to communicate between flash files on an HTML page?

Not sure why. Works fine via Parrallels / Windowx XP Pro 2002, IE 6. Is this Flash Player Mac bug? This code isn’t working for me on OS 10.5, Firefox 3.5.6, Safari 4.0.4, Flash Player 10,0,32,18.

The connection will only address the first page that is opened. This example works great but what can be done about someone who has two browser events open at the same time.
