Can't create room because room list is empty?

[Soleil]

I have successfully connected and logged in. Now just trying to create a room.

Here's the code I'm using, straight from the docs:

Code: Select all

var roomObj:Object = new Object();
roomObj.name = "The Test Room";
roomObj.isGame = true;
roomObj.maxUsers = 15;

_smartFox.createRoom(roomObj);

And here is the error I get:

Code: Select all

****************************************************************
Warning:
The room list is empty!
The client API cannot function properly until the room list is populated.
Please consult the documentation for more infos.

How can I populate the list if I can't create a room? Is there anything I need to do first in order to be able to create a room?

[Soleil]

I figured out that I can wait for "onRoomListUpdate", then do _smartFox.autoJoin();

Then, after I'm in the default room I can createRoom(), which automatically puts me in the new room I create.

So do users always have to put in a room first before they can create a room?

Yes.
You can create a default Room that everyone joins as a temporary location, a limbo Room to be specific.
The "limbo" attribute allows the Room to inhibit all event broadcasting allowing any number of users to join it without generating continuos user updates.
