Hello,

I realize this can be answered a number of ways and i've tried searching for it.

I'm trying to find out how I can tell how many users are connected to the same FMS application in a flex application:

public function totalConnectedUsers():void{
lblText1.text = "There are a total of " + bindableUserVariable + " Users Connected to the Stream Now";
}

Thanks for the assist.

    You can basically use getAppStats Admin Command to achieve this: see docs here:

    You can get this value from the server side if you write a bit of code in a main.asc file. Just grab the length of the clients object on the application object.

    application.clients.length

    Grab that and pass it to the client side. I've got a tutorial in the works for this specific use case actually, when I get it up I'll post back.
