trouble with registerClass method of Application object

[bradmicleah]

hey

I posted this problem other places but it seems no one knows. Hopefull someone here can help


I am having a problem with the registerClass method of the Application object. I searched numerous resources and found nothing that helped. Right now I'm just going by the Macromedia documentation and it's pretty unclear(to me anyways). I'm not having a problem accessing properties of an object I pass from the client to server. In fact, it doesn't even appear that I have to register the class with the application object for this to work. The problem is, everytime I try to call a method of an object passed from the client to the server I get "TypeError: class_obj.set_id is not a function".

here is the code I'm using on the client side
_________________________________________

#include "netdebug.as"

stop();

client=new NetConnection();
client.onStatus=function(info){
for(var i in info){
trace(i + ": " + info[i]);
}
};
client.ahole=function(cobj){
trace("Bam");
trace(cobj.class_id);

};

a=new my_class();
a.class_id=6;
client.connect("rtmp:/RegisterClass");
client.call("test_class", null, a, client);

function my_class(){
this.class_id=null;
}

my_class.prototype.set_id=function(new_id){
this.class_id=new_id;
};

_______________________________________________




and here is the code I'm using in the main.asc file
_______________________________________________
function my_class(){
this.class_id=null;
}

my_class.prototype.set_id=function(new_id){
this.class_id=new_id;
}

application.onAppStart=function(){
trace("Starting App");


}

application.onConnect=function(new_client){
this.acceptConnection(new_client);

}

Client.prototype.test_class=function(class_obj){
class_obj.set_id(5);
this.call("ahole", null, class_obj);
}

Hopefully someone has done this succesfully before and can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, dude...

I've read your code for a while, I think I can understand
what you wanna do, but I have a question to make:

Why do you want to use this:

function my_class(){ 
this.class_id=null; 
} 

my_class.prototype.set_id=function(new_id){ 
this.class_id=new_id; 
}

I would do it in another way:

client.prototype.my_class = function set_id(new_id){
        this.id = new_id;
}
client.prototype.id = null;

I think it would make the same effect as you're expecting, no?

There's one more thing I could see in your code:

In your client side script, you've used a call function
client.call("test_class", null, a, client);

but in your server side, you got this function with wrong
numbers of parameters:

Client.prototype.test_class=function(class_obj){
class_obj.set_id(5);
this.call("ahole", null, class_obj);
}

your call at client sends two parameters, and your server
side script expects just one, right? I think it won't run.

anyway, I didn't test anything... I'm just telling what I think
would help... like you, I can't find nobody to help me with
comm server questions.

I hope that helps.

Ah... there's one more thing!
server side scripting is case sensitive...
client side isn't... it's a big damn thing!

C ya!
