onSync Handler

[d00mc0ck]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with an onSync handler, hopefully someone can help.

In my client when a button is presseda function is called on the server>>>>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/
newClient.msgFromClient = function() {
var x = newClient.id;
//trace("newClient.id :"+x);
//trace("in function");

application.tanks_so.send("msgFromSrvr", x);
};

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////
The above code sends the client id to a function on the client >>>>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////
_root.tanks_so.msgFromSrvr = function(x) {
var num = x;
var user = _root.users_so.data.user;
_root.client_nc.call("sendNameToServer", null, user);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The above function gets the users name & sends it back to a function on the
server.
This is where the problem is. >>>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////
newClient.sendNameToServer = function(user) {
var uName = user;
var thisTankName = (p+"_"+"tank"+"_"+newClient.tankId);

application.tanksToBeBuilt_so.setProperty(newClien t.tankId,{ownedBy:uName,name
:thisTankName});
newClient.tankId++;
};
///////////////////////////////////////////////
The above function is supposed to make a new entry in the "tanksToBeBuilt_so"
RSO with the user who called it and the tank name as parameters.

I've tested the function with a trace statement and the function is
deffinately being entered.

It seems however that the RSO is not being updated and I cant figure out why?

My onSync handler is written as follows >>>>>>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////
tanksToBeBuilt_so.onSync = function(tankList) {
trace("tank onsync");
for (var i in tanksToBeBuilt_so.data) {
if (tanksToBeBuilt_so.data != null) {
trace("trace test :"+"owner:"+tanksToBeBuilt_so.data.ownedBy+",
"+"TankName:"+tanksToBeBuilt_so.data.name);
}
}
};
////////////////////////////////////////////////
On the 2nd line of the above onSync I have a trace which is "trace("tank
onsync");".

When the app starts the trace works so the RSO IS being initialized.

Can anybody spot whats up with my code?

Thanks,
Barry.

Hi, Im learning flash media server at the mo and have a problem. I'm trying to
use an onsync handler so that when a player clicks a movieclip on stage and
moves it, the same movieclip moves on all other clients.

The way i am trying to initiate this is as follows,

//>> First i've set a remote sharede objects data to be updated.
///tank_coord_so.data={sx : x,sy : z,destx : x,desty : dy};

I've just got 4 variables, start x & y and destination x & y


//>> The onSync handler does work but it does not move the movieclip on any of
the other clients, only the client who moved the movieclip;

///tank_coord_so.onSync = function(list) {

for(i in tank_coord_so.data){

var pos=tank_array_info_so.data; //finds the position in local array
that contains tank object

trace("onsync pos"+pos);

var x=tank_coord_so.data.sx;

var y=tank_coord_so.data.sy;

var destx=tank_coord_so.data.destx;

var desty=tank_coord_so.data.desty;

var obj : Object=_root.tanks;
obj.clip._x=destx;
obj.clip._x=desty;

So the onSync works but only moves the movieclip on one client (the client who
selected it to move);

Any advice or insight would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks,
B.

You need to make sure that the sharedObject is synced AND connected first
before everything works properly. I'm betting that it hasn't had the connect
method called.

//--------
//CODE (why I don't have the "add code to message" option available is beyond
me)
//---------

var sharedObjectSynced:Boolean = false;

var NC:NetConnection = new NetConnection()
NC.connect("rtmp://myServer.myDomain.com")

var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getRemote("positionData",NC.uri,true)

my_so.onSync = function(info){
if(!sharedObjectSynced){
sharedObjectSynced = true;
trace("Shared Object ready for use.")
}else{
//code to update tank positions using sharedObject data

}
}
my_so.connect(NC)
