LocalConnection help, local offline swf to online

programming flash
1

Hello I’m using the local connection object. Just the basic example from AS3 help
I would like local running swf to pass data to an swf running online. Is this possible? I’ve tried adding an underscore to the connection name as suggested in AS3 help and also tried using
conn.allowDomain(’’);
conn.allowInsecureDomain(’’);
to allow access. But it never connects once loaded to the server. Only will work locally. Is this a sandbox issue? If so from the documentation I would think the conn.allowDomain(’’); or conn.allowInsecureDomain(’’); would allow it? Any help would be appreciated.
