I'm accessing the same SharedObject from two different programs at the same time on the same computer (i.e. locally, not remotely), and I wanted to know in one program if the other program had changed the SharedObject (besides just refreshing it). I had thought that the send() method or sync event would work, but those only work on remotely accessed SharedObjects. Is there something similar I could use?
If you have two swfs running on the same machine, LocalConnection will let one swf call functions in another swf.
