Local Connection

Methods

All the local connection components respond to the same instance name of 'MRM_LC'

Signature	Descriptions
LC_trigger_start():Void	The component receiving on channel one acts as the master, and once all the SWF files required in the creative execution have been registered with it, the component confirms the connection by calling the LC_trigger_start() function from the same scope. If you want to only synchronize the creative on user interaction then use the LC_trigger_start() function to set a boolean and only execute the user initiaton if the boolean is true.
fire(functionIndex:Number, channelIndex:Number, parameters:Object):Void	Fires the function with the 'functionIndex' on the channel with the 'channelIndex' and passes the parameters object e.g. MRM_LC.fire(1,2, [parameter:value]);

Example

The following example creates an object with two parameters and passes the parameters object to the second function on the third channel.

var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.value1 = 10;
obj.value2 = "my second value is....";
MRM_LC.fire(2,3,obj);

Broadcast Event

The master local connection component broadcasts this event to a _root level function called MRM_component_events.

To setup the timeline function you can use the action hints panel and select MRM_component_events

function MRM_component_events(evtObj:Object)
{
	if(evtObj.type == "onSynchronizationCompleted")
	{
		trace("onSynchronizationCompleted");
	}
}

''Best practice is to place the local connection component in a child movie as this will allow the polite download to complete before attempting to make the connection'

The function name fired in the FLA on the receiving channel is defined through its components inspector and is set as LC_trigger by default. You can create as many functions as required by following the naming convention. e.g. your function prefix plus underscore and the index number of the function.

function LC_trigger_1(obj:Object):Void{
	// Add your code here....  
}
function LC_trigger_2(obj:Object):Void{  
 	// Add your code here....
}

1: Place the local connection component in both FLA's just off the visible stage. (show details)

2: Set up local connection component properties for each file. (show details)

Local Connection v 2.0.5

Local Connection v 2.0.5

Type the following code in the file with the 'Individual channel identifier' set to 1: (master)

function LC_trigger_start():Void{
	MRM_LC.fire(1,2,7); //fire receiving function 1 (function myFunction_1()) on channel 2, and pass number 7
}

Type the following code in the file with the 'Individual channel identifier' set to 2: (slave)

function myFunction_1(par):Void{
	trace("myFunction_1 called with parameter "+par);// Output: myFunction_1 called with parameter 7
}
