The only way for a client to call a method is for that method to exist
on the Client's object. That's just the way the Flash RPC stuff
works. You can either add it to the Client prototype (which I don't
like) or add it to the client object after they connect (my preferred
way).
For instance:
application.onConnect = function(oClient, oParams) {
this.acceptConnection(oClient);
oClient.helloServer = function() {
trace("Hello Server");
};
}
Or, you can get fancy and do some delegate-style work so that your
actual function is defined on application (or some other object):
application.helloServer = function() {
trace("Hello Server");
}
application.onConnect = function(oClient, oParams) {
this.acceptConnection(oClient);
oClient.oScope = this;
oClient.helloServer = function() {
this.oScope.helloServer.apply(this.oScope, arguments); };
}
The reason you're getting an error about the function not existing is
that it doesn't. When the client makes a call the server looks for a
function of the given name on the client's object. If it doesn't
exist you get an error.
I hope that helps!
