Sending a variable from flash to flex

Hi Experts,

I am bit new to Flex. What I am trying to do is I have a flash map that I have made clickble. Now what I want to do is when I click on any state the state name should go to my flex application. Like say if I press NJ state on my flash map it should generate some event flex that flex would know that NJ state has been selected.

I am putting my flash map into the same flex application which has to be notified when any state is selected.

Thanks

Use LocalConnection.

inside your flex app init code /////////////////////////////

private var localConn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
var client:Object = new Object();
client.sayHelloTo = function( s:String)
{
trace("hello " + s);
};
localConn.client = client;
localConn.connect("myFlexConn");

to send a string to flash:
var sendConn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sendConn.send("myFlashConn", "doSomething", "hello");

inside flash///////////////////////////////////////

var localConn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
localConn.doSomething = function( s:String)
{
trace('received ' + s);
};
localConn.connect("myFlashConn");

to send a string to flex:
var sendConn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sendConn.send("myFlexConn", "sayHelloTo", "gary");

Hi,

I had some idea about this. But the thing is say I have 10 objects in flash every containing different id. When a particular item is click I want to notify flex that this item is clicked and accordingly create a pop up window.

It would be better if you provide some code as I am new to flash/flex.
