LocalConnection StatusEvent Error

Question

I'm getting this error intermittently when attempting to call functions in a localconnection.

Error #2044: Unhandled StatusEvent:. level=error, code=

The "handled" output:

LocalConnection.send() failed [StatusEvent type="status" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 code=null level="error"]

Here is the code that sends the info:

        {
            trace("Error " + e);
        }
    }
}   
 }

The searching I've done on the error seems to be of little value. Most people say that declaring the localconnection outside of the function fixed it for them. Can anyone see anything that could cause this error?

Answer 1

Too much information is being passed to the local swf. If you need to change the data quickly create separate LocalConnections for each of the functions.

Answer 2

I can see a few things that might be an issue.

First is the flow the way you have it set up the sender would have to be loaded before the receiver. Since the receiver is not wrapped in a try/catch you have no idea if it actually connected.

private function connect( ):void{
  try {
    this.receiverLC.allowDomain('*')
    this.receiverLC.connect("_myConnection");
    trace('LocalConnection SUCCEEDED')
  } catch (error:ArgumentError) {
    trace('LocalConnection FAILURE')
  }
}

Next is that your status events poorly.

private function statusError(e:StatusEvent):void {
  switch (e.level) {
    case "status":
      trace( "LocalConnection.send() succeeded");
      break;
    case "error":
      trace( "LocalConnection.send() failed " );
      break;
  }
}

And last you need to have the swfs cross talk back and forth so the sender will know the other swf is ready.

[EDIT]
In the following function you are assigning o[4] but in the call back function you are accessing o[3] which doesnt exist.

    public function showDeaths():void
    {
        var deathArray:Array = [];
        for each (var o:Object in leaderboardScores)
        {

// here is one problem o[4] in showDeaths you are looking for 3
            var player:Array = [o[0], o[1], o[2], o[4].value];
            deathArray.push(player);
        }
        deathArray.sortOn([3], Array.NUMERIC);
        sendLC.send("_myConnection", "showDeaths", deathArray);
        showChallenges();
    }

All but the first of your call backs are plagued with the same issue
