Can’t figure this one out for the life of me.

I type:  
[AS]receiverConnection = new LocalConnection();[/AS]  
… and the ‘LocalConnection’ syntax highlighting doesn’t indicate that it’s a keyword like it does when I instantiate any other object like LoadVars, Color, MovieClip, etc. Furthermore, when I look in the Actionscript Dictionary, it can’t find any results that match LocalConnection. It were as though the LocalConnection class simply wasn’t installed. I am baffled.

Any idea what’s going on here? I am stuck.
