Local connection does not always work...alternatives or fixes?

Hi,

I have an swf that needs to communicate with another. It just needs to pass 1 variable (a number) to the other. And the receiving swf will then act according to the number.

However, I noticed when I sometimes refresh the page, localConnection does not always work. When I’m clicking the sending swf, the receiving swf does not act…at all. As if nothing happened.

Is it a HTML problem? Ive selected Flash Player 7 for swfobject’s parameters. Anyone have any solutions or possible alternatives to doing this?

Like I said, I just need to give the receiving swf ONE variable. And I dont want the sending one to write to a PHP file and receiving one to always load that PHP file for updates…thats not nifty enough.

Thanks!

******** I noticed LC works as soon as I clear my cache on firefox. Weird??
