Flash Player 9, Director MX, LocalConnection and the file system sandbox

Question

I have a Director MX asset to which I have no source-code
access. Previously I could use LocalConnection in a Flash Player 8
projector to interact with the Director app, local to the
file-system. I seem unable to do the same thing with a Flash Player
9 projector. The director asset looks for and loads the relevant
Flash projector and unloads itself when it is no longer present,
and this functionality continues without a problem. However, when I
use the LocalConnection.send method, the Flash player does not
receive the expected responses.
I know that this is a rather general and abstract question:
put simply, does anyone know whether Flash Player 9 and Director MX
can't talk to each other using LocalConnection?
ps to pre-empt over-enthusiastic respondees, yes I am aware
of other technologies such as AIR, Zinc etc, and no they're not a
viable option for my particular project.

Answer 1

Hi,
the following sourcecode is compiled with Flexbuilder 2 and
runs in flashplayer 9.0.115 as expected.
How do you trigger the effect?
