Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / January 2007

I'm mostly having issues with SWF files that refuse to talk to each other.

It's almost as if SWF files were inherently designed not to talk to each
other. Or anything else. It's insane.

I can get one file to send data using the GET command. But I can't get the
other to retrieve it.

I can get both files to access the same XML file, but the file that needs to
send the message refuses to save it permanently.

And nether file seems to want to talk to txt, or cmf, or html.

Now maybe I misunderstood the security protocols, but the two files are in the
same domain, and onto of that I have set acceptDomain to "*" to make sure the
domain is allowed.

The files I'm using are specifically in the same folder.

Basically I have used java script to call a new window, without all that extra
browser stuff. If there is a way to do this in flash, I couldn't find it.

Now I have two files in two separate html docs. I just need to pass on a url
that leads to a common file they'll both be sharing. And another variable that
needs to be set.

If it's not a security issue, I can't think of why these files can't send and
retrieve information to a common file. So I'm at a roadblock.
