onSync Handler

[d00mc0ck]

Hi, Im learning flash media server at the mo and have a problem. I'm trying to use an onsync handler so that when a player clicks a movieclip on stage and moves it, the same movieclip moves on all other clients.

The way i am trying to initiate this is as follows,

//>> First i've set a remote sharede objects data to be updated.
///tank_coord_so.data[tName]={sx : x,sy : z,destx : x,desty : dy};

I've just got 4 variables, start x & y and destination x & y


//>> The onSync handler does work but it does not move the movieclip on any of the other clients, only the client who moved the movieclip;

///tank_coord_so.onSync = function(list) {

for(i in tank_coord_so.data){

var pos=tank_array_info_so.data[ i ]; //finds the position in local array that contains tank object

trace("onsync pos"+pos);

var x=tank_coord_so.data .sx;

var y=tank_coord_so.data.sy;

var destx=tank_coord_so.data .destx;

var desty=tank_coord_so.data.desty;

var obj : Object=_root.tanks[pos];
obj.clip._x=destx;
obj.clip._x=desty;

So the onSync works but only moves the movieclip on one client (the client who selected it to move);

Any advice or insight would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks,
B.

You need to make sure that the sharedObject is synced AND connected first before everything works properly. I'm betting that it hasn't had the connect method called.

//--------
//CODE (why I don't have the "add code to message" option available is beyond me)
//---------

var sharedObjectSynced:Boolean = false;

var NC:NetConnection = new NetConnection()
NC.connect("rtmp://myServer.myDomain.com")

var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getRemote("positionData",NC.uri,true)

my_so.onSync = function(info){
if(!sharedObjectSynced){
sharedObjectSynced = true;
trace("Shared Object ready for use.")
}else{
//code to update tank positions using sharedObject data

}
}
my_so.connect(NC)
