Thanks for the quick answer Anthony, Here is a question, if the reference to the pipe object is obtained in the multipipecreate event, will all clients of the website have access to it. My assumption is that the multipipecreate event is only called once, by the first person accessing the site... all other clients will not have this event called and as such will not be given reference to the pipe object for further use...
Please let me know if my assumption is wrong. The aim is to call the "pipe.send()" function from a regular javascript function On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 9:40 AM, Anthony Catel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > You can juste use "pipe.send()" where pipe is an object returned on the > event "multipipecreate" or by getPipe(pubid). > > Le 12/04/2011 06:50, ramonezy a écrit : > > Hi all, >> >> I know this might be a simple problem, but I couldn't find what I was >> looking for in the documentation.
