Problem with shared objects synchoronization.

Question

I encountered a small problem with shared objects.
I'm working on a program that creates chat rooms of a fixed
size of 30 users. When the 31th user comes, a new room is created.
The idea is that the client first connects to the first room
and checks if it's full by connecting to shared objects. If it is
full, connection is closed and process is reapeated on a new
instance of the application.

I use a function to connect to an instance, which takes as a
parameter a number (1 for instance room_1, 2 for room_2, etc). The
function itself creates the necessary Netconnection and
sharedObject objects.

If a room is full, Netconnections and sharedObjects are
closed and function is called again with another number.

I have no problem for connecting to the first room, but after
closing the first connection and connecting to the new room, there
seem to be some problems with the shared objects (especially,
OnSync doesn't seem to execute again after the connection to the
shared objects of the new instance).
I was wondering if you had any ideas what could cause this.
Is it the use of the same variable names for connecting at two
different shared objects?

Here is the function :

function initStreams(room) {
 
 client_nc = new NetConnection();

client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.4/Elearning/room_"+room);

in_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
 in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
 Replay_video.attachVideo(in_ns);

out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
 out_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);

in_ns.play("my_recorded_stream");

users_name = SharedObject.getRemote("users_name",
_root.client_nc.uri, false); 
 users_name.connect(_root.client_nc);

users_language = SharedObject.getRemote("users_language",
_root.client_nc.uri, false); 
 users_language.connect(_root.client_nc);

users_picture = SharedObject.getRemote("users_picture",
_root.client_nc.uri, false); 
 users_picture.connect(_root.client_nc);

users_finger = SharedObject.getRemote("users_finger",
_root.client_nc.uri, false); 
 users_finger.connect(_root.client_nc);
 
}

I you need more info, I can post more of the code on the
forum.
Any help would be really appreciated

I don't see any onStatus events in the code you posted above. If you're defining the onstatus event outside the function, that's the problem. When you define the shared object, you also need to define it's onStatus event handler.

Also, you really should wait for the onStatus event of the netConnection before you connect your sharedObjects. If you try to connect the SO before the netConnection is established, the SO will never connect.

It worked. The problem was that the onsync functions for theshared objects were defined outside the function. I didn't know theonstatus functions were necessary too.Thanks for your help.
