Would it be possible for you to give me a code example of using getAvatarMovieClipById listed in the documentation.

I know how to get the userID from smartFox.

What I want to do is in some rooms the users shrink 1/2 size. But when a new user enters they are seen full size. I have set a param in smartFox for the user ' size: ' and I can pull that when the avatar enters the room. But what I can't do if target that avatar and set the siz for my avatars view to be correct.

The usage of that (undocumented) method is straightforward: you pass the user id and it returns a MovieClip corresponding to your avatar class (you will probably have to cast it).

When trying to use this method, I'm getting

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getAvatarMovieClipById through a reference with static type com.smartfoxserver.openspace:OpenSpace.

I need this method for several things, mainly to tell my custom avatar class some extra stuff...so I need to get movieClip of each avatar created.

This is not available in the trial version of OpenSpace, as it was added after its release.

Ah ok, we are on our way to buy it in the next few days so I'm looking forward to that function

I´m trying to use the os.getAvatarById method in my application whenever I click on any avatar so I can access that avatar movieclip:

function onAvatarClicked(evt:AvatarEvent):void
{
trace("--[OpenSpace] Avatar clicked (user id: " + evt.params.id + "; avatar name: " + evt.params.avatarMovieClip.avatarName + ")")

var demoAvatar:DummyAvatarMovieClip = os.getAvatarById(evt.params.id) as DummyAvatarMovieClip


}

but the compiler throws the following error:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getAvatarById through a
reference with static type com.smartfoxserver.openspace:OpenSpace.

which is identical to what the poster above had.

I do have the openspace 1 licence, so what gives?

Am I missing a class here?

It seems you are using an older version of OpenSpace 1. You should download it again and update your project.

Well, that´s odd. I bought the OS1 licence two months ago, could it be possible that the version I have is old enough, given that its just two months old?

Sorry, I didn't notice it before, but you are using the wrong method name: it's getAvatarMovieClipById, not getAvatarById.
Also, there's no need you use that method in your code, because the event params already contain a reference to the avatar movieclip (and you already use it): evt.params.avatarMovieClip

Alright, got it. Thanks
