ah groovy it works! thank you sooo much you have no idea how hard i was banging my head over this.

thank you VERY MUCH for your time.

i knew it was probably something simple. just a few lines of code, but i couldn't find many examples in the documentation... they were a bit more complex than what ...

Tom

sorry was playing around with my post which i didn't expect you to catch so quickly

Tom

thanks for all your help.
still confused but i'll give it a go here real quick.

var room:Object = sfs.getActiveRoom();

sfsUser = room.getUser(1) ;

var userVars:Array = sfsUser.getVariables();

trace(userVars);

that didn't seem to return al ist of variables... there is a user id 1 when i ...

Tom

i've tried both:

sfsUser = new User(sfs.myUserId, sfs.myUserName);
(in hopes to retrieve the user's own variables which i guess is silly because if you're setting them to begin with you know what they are)

and so i also tried

sfsUser = new User(173, "Tom");
(manually setting it to the other ...

Tom

really trying to read the documentation too... but the avatar chat example in the documentation doesn't use getVariables anywhere -- ... it seems like it was calling upon some user.variables - but that doesn't seem to be a property that i can access...

something updated

that's ...

Tom

not sure i figured it out but i solved the problem... there was something in my application that ran after connecting and would terminate the connection.... why i don't know.

so i just moved the main.as (from the template for as3) class into my main application and it solved the issue.

for some ...

Tom

ok well i realized i was accessing the wrong class =0

but still ... i can't return variables ... just got the errors to all go away.
i CAN get my user name etc. through the user class but no variables.

yet the admin tool shows variables..

(also the console shows the "[Sending]" AND "[RECEIVED ...

Tom

Not seeming to have much luck here..
reading the API I see a function "getVariable" and "getVariables" but Flex keeps telling me those methods don't exist and upon opening the actionscript files for SmartFoxClient ... I can't seem to to find those methods either.

also I added an event listener to ...

Tom

actually...as3 has opened the doors to a lot of new possibilities.

you still are limited by actionscript's security/sharing/sandbox -- whatever you want to call it. but people are finding ways around that even.

i would not be at all surpirsed if you could get a peer to peer game in actionscript3 ...

Tom

oh. i see. i was kinda ignoring most things that weren't directed at AS3.
even though i see it's related of course.

Tom

maybe something simple yet again on my part here but after successfully connecting to the server and joining a room... i'm getting dropped.

NOT if i use the as3 template... but if i try taking that and applying it to my flash game.

perhaps something to do with event listeners? i don't know why it ...

Tom

aha, that was it... i jumped the gun. i moved the setting of user variables down until after it was sure that you were logged in and in a room... (looking at the template provided under the as3/flex examples, i set my user variables after the trace where it says "successfully joined room")

maybe ...

Tom

Hi,

I'm a little new to this -- but I can connect to the server, join rooms, create rooms, and also create room variables... cool. but what i can't seem to do is set user variables. it just brings up errors for me.

in particular: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a ...

Tom

thought i was going to sleep. now i'm going to play

thank you sir
