I have been playing around with localConnetion a bit and ran across a problem, the communication between swf:s works great in firefox and opera but any version of IE (6+) seem to fail sending/receiving communication. Is this a known issue or am i missing something?  
I am aware of the problem of having the same page open in more than one tab/window/browser and it is not this that is the problem.  
Input would be much appreciated!

Update:  
I’ve solved this now, it seem to have been the browser handling of the XML the clips are loading that was done differently between the browsers, i dont know exactly what but setting a timer to continously retrieve the xml solved the problem
