Hello people.  
I’m running into some strange problems with the localConnection-function in flash8.  
I have these two .exe’s running, and i send actions from one exe to another using the localConnection. I have a four button setup with following actions attatched :

on(release){  
\_root.mySender.send(“myConnections”,“myAction”,1);  
}

and in the recieving movie…

myReciever.myAction = function (doThis){  
if (doThis == 1){  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

This script is attatched on four buttons. The problem is that, when i pressed the buttons in the sending movie a couple of times, it’s starts to mess up, showing the called actions in the reciever-movie randomly a couple of times before it stops working… can anyone help?

cheers,

Mikz
