So I thought I’d put a little demo together of this new stuff in action. You’ll notice dragging the cube around in either swf will update the position of the cube in the other. This is mainly just a test to see it working for me before trying external panels/tools for updating content. You’ll see the little circle indicators showing if the two swfs are connected or not. I didn’t really put in any connection checking code, so if it’s not working just close the page and open it again.

It's not working good in Opera. I guess it's their problem, but I thought that you may want to know that.

"Local" means two swfs open at the same time on the same computer.

Lol, it's called a LocalConnection. Usually that implies that it would be local.
