Number of connections

[grone2001]

Hi, I have a simple chat type; all I need is a simple piece of code that would show the amount of people currently connected to the chat. Something saying... (16 users connected) It's just a simple .exe that connects to the server just using netConn = new NetConnection(); kind of thing....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You could call a client method from the server-side code, sending the amount of people currently connected, as the application knows how many clients are connected to it.

//server side
application.onConnection = function(newClient) {
//accept the client here, and everything else you have to do
for(i=0;i<application.clients.length;i++) {
application.clients[i].call("numberOfClients",null,application.clients.length);
}
//you should do the same onDisconnect
}


//client side

net_con.numberOfClients = function(nClients) {
_root.clientsOnline.text=nClients;
}


I'm new at FMS and I didn't try this code, but I hope it's usefull. I don't know how would this work if you have rooms (instances) in your chat application, though.
