switch player works for me on both server and client side, however it switches a spectator(-1) to a player which is opposite to its description. And switchSpectator doesn't do anything for me. anyone else have this problem?

Hi,
those methods should have probably be called with a more meaningful name.
Originally only switchSpectator existed, which would turn a spectator user into a player. Subsequently we have added the switchPlayer method which turns a player into a spectator.
Can you explain exactly what is not working for you and a description of how we can reproduce it?
Also make sure to specify which server and client API version you are using.
Thank you

Hi Lapo,
I am using the latest and greatest, Smart fox server 1.6.6 and the client API is flash AS3.
The command _server.switchPlayer(theUser, theRoomId) is supposed to according to the server API, switch a player into a spectator(playerid = -1).
However, the command switches a spectator into a player and assigns it the next available player id number. and the command switch spectator on the server API does nothing. it will not switch a player into a spectator or vice versa. The same happens for the AS3 API of switch spectator and switch player.
Thanks for the help.
