[osflash] accessing global methods with swf loaded across domains

[Till Schneidereit]

Hi Mariano,

the short answer: You can't access global methods defined in other domains.
The Flashplayer creates new _global objects for each SecurityDomain,
which can't be accessed by code from other domains.
What you could do is create some sort of exchange object on _level0
or, better yet, change the data exchange to some interface based
system.

Note that, in order to be able to access objects from other
SecurityDomains in a strongly typed way, you have to import the
classes from a shared library instead of defining them in the loaded
modules themselves. And even then, you might have the weird situation
that something like
myNumberFromAnotherSecurityDomain instanceof Number evaluates to
"false" because, really, 'Number' is a type defined in the
SecurityDomain and so it differs from one SecurityDomain to another.


good luck,
till
