Hey,
The client is not really an instance of the connection, but a representation
of the client connected (an id in form of an obj)..
Because FMS wouldn't want any client to call any function. for security
reasons (otherwise you could never build anything secure on it),
clients can only Call functions that are connected on the client (object
that represents themself on the server).
So it's not like when you add a function at the fms to the client.. what you
think is the direct connection.. that it would go tru the line to the
clients pc and add it there.
(if i'm guessing your thoughts right) :)
With kind regards,
Dennis

hey Andy,
thanks, yes this helps alot...i was confused about the client having the
definition and conceptually i still don't get what's remote about it...the
clientObj is an instance of the connection right? and that's instantiated
on the client-side right?...anyway as long as it works i'm not going to
quibble too much :)

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!
