As3 - LocalConnection between SWF and AIR desktop app - actionscript-3

Question

I need to send a text from an embedded SWF (Web browser) to an AIR based desktop app.
I did everything like explained in the documentation but I can't establish a connection.
Does anybody see what I did wrong or can point me to a working example?
From the SWF:
function startConnection(e:Event=null):void
{
var localConnection:LocalConnection
localConnection = new LocalConnection();
localConnection.client = this;
localConnection.allowDomain("app#com.example.desktop");
var textToSend = "Hello world! Source: http://www.foobar.com";
localConnection.send("app#com.example.desktop:connectionName", "methodName",textToSend);
}
From the AIR desktop app:
function onBrowserInvoke (event:BrowserInvokeEvent):void{
var localConnection:LocalConnection
localConnection = new LocalConnection();
localConnection.client = this
localConnection.allowDomain("example.com");
localConnection.connect("connectionName");
}
Thank you.

The working code is:
AIR:
var localConnection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
localConnection.send("_myConnection", "methodName", "Hello world! Source: http://www.foobar.com");
SWF:
var localConnection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
localConnection.allowDomain("app#airtest"); //or use "*" wildcard to allow any domains and AIR applications
localConnection.client = this;
localConnection.connect("_myConne‌​ction");
Where airtest is the app id for AIR application. Use the _ symbol before local connection name for supporting unpredictable domain names (it'll work in debug mode and via http).
