Hi list,

I've been working on implementing LocalConnection in Gnash, and
documenting the Linux flashplayer implementation on osflash.org at the
same time ( http://osflash.org/localconnection ).

Now I have Gnash interfacing with the proprietary player (and with
itself!) both as listener and sender, but there are some details that
are wild guesses based on just a few cases. I fear these guesses will be
inadequate at some point.

Can you help me with the following questions:

1. LocalConnection listeners add their name to the listeners section,
but this is also followed by a marker, e.g "::3 ::4" The first number
always seems to be 3, but the second can be at least 1, 2, or 4. It
seems to be related to the domain of the SWF file, but does anyone have
a better idea what it means?

2. Sometimes the flashplayer sends extra AMF data before the name of the
function to be called. The extra data seem to be signified when the 3rd
field of AMF data is a boolean (rather than a string). The number of
fields varies, and I've just guessed (based on a sample of 2) how to
work out how many there are. Does anyone know how to interpret these
fields reliably, or what they are for?

Please see the osflash.org page for more precise data. I'd be very
grateful for any hints.

bwy
