NetConnection.call

Question

My goal is as follows. Say I have a chat app called
"mychatpp" and with in that app I have a bunch of different chat
rooms such as "chatroomone" , "chatroomtwo" and so on. So I've
created a combo box and filled it with all of the chat room names.
I want to also add a user count in the combo box beside each chat
room name. The problem is I can't figure out how to access the user
count for a chat app or for each individual room within a chat app.

I have been trying something like this but haven't had any
luck yet.

nc = new NetConnection;
nc.connect("rtmp://www.myflashmediaser.com/mychatapp/");
nc.call("userCount", true);

I can't figure out how to access the returned value. Also
notice that my connect string just points at the app and doesn't
reference an individual room, in order for it to be useful I need
to get the user count for an individual room.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, that makes much more sense then what I was attempting. Say I have an array of chat rooms that exist in the chat app and I want to loop through them to get a user count for each room and then add that chat room name and user count to an option in a combo box, can I do it with a single netconnection something like this?

nc = new NetConnection;
nc.connect("rtmp://www.myflashmediaser.com/mychatapp/");

for (i=0; i<chatroomsArray.length; i++) {
chatRoomUserCounts = SharedObject.get("chatRoomUsers");
var thisChatRoomUserCount = myInfo.getProperty("chatRoomOneUserCount");
chatRoomListCB.addItem({data:chatroomsArray , label:chatroomsArray+" ("+thisChatRoomUserCount+")" });
}
