LocalConnection

[robhenderson]

Hi,

Does anyone know if implementation of LocalConnection is something that's likely to happen?

We've got an application that runs as several flash animations on the same page - and they rely on LocalConnection to communicate with each other.

Just wondering if it's worth holding out before thinking about rewriting the whole thing in HTML5!

Thanks.

If you can contribute things can accelerate. LocalConnection is also used with getRemote() method to get the sharedobject from the server which important indeed.

@robhenderson, you even posted a comment in the issue that tracks it (#259).

I’m not a developer, just an average computer user that reports bugs here from time to time.

If your issues are critical to you, your organization might consider sponsoring @ruffle-rs for this implementation.

It is just my own take on the issue (or what I would consider doing if that were my case).

Sorry - didn't meant to offend anyone. I've only just discovered Ruffle so was just putting some feelers out. We'll probably look at redeveloping as nothing is critical - but will certainly keep in mind sponsorship of ruffle-rs too. Thanks.

Sorry, @robhenderson, your words were kind and perfectly fine.

Right now, there are a bunch of features that need to be implemented (only considering AS2).

I have my issues too (reported over months ago). But I realize that I will have to wait now, since other ones might come first.

Sponsorship came to my mind as a practical way to speed up the process.

Thanks @ousia, it's useful to know about the sponsorship option - so thanks for pointing it out.

Good luck with the issues you reported - hope you have some success soon.

#23212 would mostly implement this.
