I had thought about (the fact that it could be developed purely client-side), and I guess that depends on how the server works by default. The problems I ran into w/ SmartFoxServer were that it insisted on sending ALL room variables to every client each time one (variable) was updated. That didn't make sense, in my opinion, and the only way around it was to write an extension. However, that required purchasing their Pro version, of which I couldn't even get the development trial installed; so I moved on. Red5 seems like it has so much more potential anyway ;)
So, if I could create scopes/rooms and set up variables using all client-side code, that'd be awesome. And then for a client to get the full list of variables only once (when entering a room) and just receiving updates, one at a time, from that point on-that would be ideal. And thanks for the offer to develop. Unfortunately, this is a project for my day-job :) _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dominick Accattato Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 5:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Red5] need some basic guidance starting a new app well, the thing is.... and maybe your not aware of this so I'll mention it.. such a simple application could... keyword being "COULD" be built without any serverside development besides making sure you have a default app setup on server. Most of your development will be clientside with what your asking for, so don't get too caught up on the java stuff. Last, if you have money :) <-- I'll build you your app. hehehhe and you can learn from it :) Please don't take that last sentence as a jab to your intelligence.. I'm just a dev who's willing to work for food! :) On 11/29/06, Corky Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ok, thanks Dominick.

I highly suggest you take a look at my video http://www.newviewnetworks.com/nvnHome/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/10/21/Red5 -Video-Tutorial-Basic-Example if the video doesn't load.. just close the window and reopen.. Anyway, just take a look at how I synchronize text from one box to another... this is the same type of approach you will take with the objects..

The list is jumpin.... I guess the only reason I didn't reply was because I wasn't sure how much you would get from the information I'll provide.. Theres many ways to approach this. User logs into default room. <-- just connect to default application Gets a list of rooms <--- you can provide a static list of rooms in a shared object the sharedobject of the list of rooms basically will be an associative array holding netconnection uri's of the rooms O nce in a room, the user recieves the positions for all the objects, a recieves updates for the positions when objects are moved. so if there is a square, circle, and triangle in the room.. create three slots in a sharedObject called roomObjects. each slot contains the coordinates. Then when those objects are dragged, you can just set the coordiantes of the sharedobject slot and the synch will happen for all users in the room. You can check out my example in the red5 distrobution called DevNotes_Connection... It has all the sharedobject code and connection code.. Again, not sure if any of this helps.

Only problem is, I'm fairly new to Java. You guys have done a great job providing the API, and there are some pretty good examples out there to learn from, but I've kinda hit a wall. I'm creating a game (which I had working w/ the SmartFoxServer, but they wanted too much $$$) where users share objects in a room that can be dragged around. I'm able to connect to the server, etc, and run some methods I've written, but I run into problems when trying to work w/ the Red5 API. Basically, here's the order of events for a user: - Logs in to the server anonymously. - Joins a default room. - Has the ability to get a room list and switch rooms. - Once in a room, the user recieves the positions for all the objects, a recieves updates for the positions when objects are moved. I've already decided that I will simply send coordinates when a position is updated, rather than do it in (close to) real-time, for speed reasons. Now, I'm not asking for you guys to write the program for me :-) I simply thought if someone would be willing to push me in the right direction, I could probably figure it out from there. I guess my issue is, I have no idea how to call the functions I need that are in the API. I can see that a 'scope' is what I should use for rooms, and I can create scopes, but I cannot access some functions and onResult returns 'null'. I started w/ the examples and used the ApplicationAdapter class.. Ok, I'll stop there before I confuse you w/ my confusion :-) Help, please? _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org -- Dominick Accattato, CTO New View Networks www.newviewnetworks.com _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org -- Dominick Accattato, CTO New View Networks www.newviewnetworks.com _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org -- Dominick Accattato, CTO New View Networks www.newviewnetworks.com <http://www.newviewnetworks.com>
