If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in the

previous example.

In the following example, the receiving SWF file, which resides in

thisDomain.com, accepts

commands only from SWF files located in

thisDomain.com or thatDomain.com:

var aLocalConn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

aLocalConn.Trace = function(aString) {

aTextField += aString+newline;

};

aLocalConn.allowDomain = function(sendingDomain) {

return (sendingDomain == this.domain() || sendingDomain ==

"www.macromedia.com");

};

aLocalConn.connect("_mylc");

When published for Flash Player 7 or later, exact domain matching is used. This means that

the example will fail if the SWF files are located at www.thatDomain.com but will work if the

files are located at thatDomain.com.
