Different SWF communicating with LocalConnection and Pipes?

Hi guys,

one of the great things of building applications is the opportunity to put in practice great ideas that solve great problems.

And I´m in the edge of solving a simple problem: How to make two PureMVC MultiCore-Pipes applications in different SWFs communicate.

I hope you guys can help me.

One Swf is the Shell and the other is operating as Module but in fact it is a <mx:Application> that implements IPipeAwareModule and all other PMVCMCP classes for regular modules. The Shell loads the external SWF and cast it as local ExternalModule that implements IPipeAwareModule.

Something similar as

public class ExternalModule extends UIComponent implements IPipeAwareModule{

		private var _request:URLRequest;
		private var _loader:Loader;
		private var _url:String;
		private var _conn:LocalConnection;
		
		public function ExternalModule ()
		{
			_request = new URLRequest(url);
			_loader = new Loader();

			_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
			
			_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFault);
			
			_conn = new LocalConnection();

			_conn.allowDomain();

			_conn.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatus);

                	_conn.client = this;
		}

               public function load():void{
			CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
			try{
				_loader.load(_request);
			}
			catch (error:Error)
                       {
            	               CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
                              trace("Unable to load URL: " + error);
                        }
        	}

                private function onLoaded(evt:Event):void{
			CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
			
			// Loader can be added to the UIComponent class. ???
			addChild(_loader);
			
			try
			{
				// listen to events from child
			    _conn.connect("fromChild");
			}
			catch (error:ArgumentError)
			{
			    trace("Error:"+error.message);
			}
			
			// Inform everything went just fine.
			dispatchEvent(new AddModuleEvent(this as DisplayObject) );
		}
		
                public function acceptInputPipe( name:String, pipe:IPipeFitting ):void
		{
			// try to execute in the external SWF
			_conn.send("fromParent","acceptInputPipe",name,pipe);
		}
		
		public function acceptOutputPipe( name:String, pipe:IPipeFitting ):void
		{
			// try to execute in the external SWF
			_conn.send("fromParent","acceptOutputPipe",name,pipe);
		}
		
		public function garbageCollection():void
		{
			//dispatchEvent( new Event( COLLECT_GARBAGE ) );
		}
		
		private function onStatus(event:StatusEvent):void {
			switch (event.level) {
				case "status":
					trace(event.toString());
				break;
				
				case "error":
					trace(event);
				break;
			}
		}
}

And on the external SWF something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
	implements="com.common.IPipeAwareModule" initialize="initializeHandler(event)">
	
	<mx:Script>
		<![CDATA[

			import org.puremvc.as3.multicore.utilities.pipes.interfaces.IPipeFitting;
			
			public static const NAME:String = 'MapModule';
			
			private var facade:ApplicationFacade = ApplicationFacade.getInstance(NAME);
			
			private var _facade: ApplicationFacade;
			
			private var _conn:LocalConnection;
			
			private function initializeHandler(event: FlexEvent):void
			{
				
				_facade = ApplicationFacade.getInstance( NAME );
				_facade.startup( this );
				
				_conn = new LocalConnection();
				_conn.allowDomain();
				_conn.client = this;
				
				try
				{
					Logger.debug("Tentando se conectar a fromParent...");
					// listen to events from the parent
				    _conn.connect("fromParent");
				}
				catch (error:ArgumentError)
				{
				    trace("Error:"+error.message);
				}
			}
			
			public function acceptInputPipe( name:String, pipe:IPipeFitting ):void
			{
				Logger.debug(NAME+".acceptInputPipe");
				_facade.sendNotification( JunctionMediator.ACCEPT_INPUT_PIPE, pipe, name );
			}
			
			public function acceptOutputPipe( name:String, pipe:IPipeFitting ):void
			{
				Logger.debug(NAME+".acceptOutputPipe");
				_facade.sendNotification( JunctionMediator.ACCEPT_OUTPUT_PIPE, pipe, name );
			}
			
			public function dispose():void
			{
				_facade.sendNotification(ApplicationFacade.DISPOSE);
			}
		]]>
	</mx:Script>

So, the main idea is to register the in/out pipes. But I´m getting some strange error on the onStatus(event:StatusEvent) that has no info, no code no nothing. The trace is:
[StatusEvent type="status" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 code=null level="error"].

And the Logger.debug(NAME+".acceptInputPipe"); in acceptInputPipe/acceptOutputPipe never executes.

And when I try to send a message from Shell to external Module (junction.sendMessage( PipeAwareModuleConstants.SHELL_TO_MODULE_PIPE, msg); )I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at org.puremvc.as3.multicore.utilities.pipes.plumbing::Pipe/write()[C:\eclipseWorkspace\Utility_AS3_MultiCore_Pipes\src\org\puremvc\as3\multicore\utilities\pipes\plumbing\Pipe.as:72]

That´s the general idea and the general error. Did you guys get it? If not, I can post more code here. I´m kinda messed here right now trying to solve this.

So please, tips appreciated!
