SFS2X Api loadConfig in FlashDevelop?

Mitsu · Post by **Mitsu** » 19 Aug 2011, 07:23

Hi I'm trying to load a configuration file for an as3 project I have in flashdevelop. I was following this tut:

http://www.youtube.com/smartFoxServer/# ... B7Yfbain1M

For quick referrence here's the config.xml

Code: Select all

<SmartFoxConfig>
	<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
	<port>5050</port>
	<zone>EMZProductions</zone>
	<debug>true</debug>
	<httpPort>8080</httpPort>
</SmartFoxConfig>

And it is in my /src folder.

Now the video says it's supposed to try a connection attempt when it loads but it doesn't seem to be doing that? I can get my SFSEvents to work if I using the connect function but yea |: I don't think it's loading my config in the first place

Any reasons why this is?

btw,

_sfs.loadConfig('config.xml')

is what have for loading it.

Hi. Is the config.xml file on the same folder as the client swf file? Also, try using "" instead of ''

Oh wow thanks, but won't this cause issues if I want to say put this game on my website?

Edit: '' and "" won't change anything, I moved the file to my /bin with my swf

What kind of issues are you thinking in? Like acessing the config file? well, i'm pretty sure that you always can not use the loadConfig method and manually set the necessary params on the client, but that will also expose the connection params to any hacker, right?

Well I assume if I were to ftp the swf onto my site and then test it it wouldn't be able to load my config.xml because I don't have it on the site?

Yup. You have to also upload the config.xml to the folder where your swf is, in your website

Wouldn't that expose it even more to people :S

Thats what i said. But even if you store the ip, port etc on the client, people can also access it

Well I'm having a new problem now.

Code: Select all

			if (e.params.success) {
				queueMessage(connectStatus, 4, "Connection Successfull\n");
				connectOnce = true;
				connected = true;
				var request:LoginRequest = LoginRequest('');
				_sfs.send(request);
			}

I'm trying to get a loginrequest like it showed on the server to log me in as a guest. But whenever I do that I get this error?

[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "" to com.smartfoxserver.v2.requests.LoginRequest.

Hi. You need to create a new Instance of a LoginRequest.

Like for example:

var request:LoginRequest = new LoginRequest("username", "password");

or you can simply use:

_sfs.send(new LoginRequest("username", "password");

Okay one last question, why are private messages censored?

[Guest8]: test
[Private]Guest8: **** ****** *******

And how can I change that.

Hi. You need to disable the world filter for the private messages. You can change this setting in the Zone configurator (don't forget to restart the server afterwards - not sure if you can change on the ZOne monitor).

if you have rooms that are already pre-configured in the zone, you also need to change this setting on them (if possible).

Oh I just realized it's not displaying the msg for me privately :S

Any good tuts on chatrooms and stuff like that with flashdevelop/builder using the as3 api?

Edit: Disregard this, I'm a moron xD
