how to declare server side method to call from client?
thanx.

masteryoda said on Aug 16, 2006 at 5:36 PM :

how do you define the resultObjecct?

normanhua said on Dec 3, 2006 at 12:27 PM :

theClient.message=function(){}

theClient is a client object.

The server-side method must have the same name as the first parameter in myNetConnection.call() and it must be defined on the server-side Client object.

The server-side method must be defined on the Client object in the main.asc file.

When a client connects to FMS, FMS passes a reference to the client to application.onConnect(clientObject).
You can define the server-side method in the application.onConnect handler:

application.onConnect = function(clientObject){
// insert code here to conditionally reject the connection
// for example, if there are too many users

// define methods to be called by client
clientObject.remoteMethod = function(){
// insert code here, include a return value
}

application.acceptConnect(clientObject)
}

On the client side:
nc.call("remoteMethod", resultObject);

//create a result object that defines an onResult() method that accepts one parameter.

var resultObject = new Object();
resultObject.onResult = function(returnValue){
// return some value
}

application.onConnect = function(newClient)
{
this.acceptConnection(newClient); // must accept first
newClient.someMethod(); // newClient has all of Client proto methods
}
Client.prototype.someMethod = function()
{
var method = "clientNCMethod";
var handler = this; // handler = obj with .onResult && onFault methods for response handling
this.broadcast(method,handler,arg1,arg2,arg3);
}
Client.prototype.broadcast = function()
{
// this will broadcast
this.call.apply(this,arguments);
}
Client.prototype.onResult = function(info)
{
trace(":: Client :: onResult :: "+info);
if(typeof(info) == "object") for(var i in info) trace("\t"+i+" = "+info[i])
}
Client.prototype.onFault = function(result)
{
trace(":: Client :: onResult :: "+result);
if(typeof(info) == "object") for(var i in info) trace("\t"+i+" = "+info[i])
}

... this assumes in 'flash' or otherwise, you have ...

var nc = new NetConnection;
nc.onFault = function(info)
{
// error executing the serverside method
trace(":: netconnection :: onFault :: info = "+info);
if(typeof(info) == "object") for(var i in info) trace("\t"+i+" = "+info[i])
}
nc.onResult = function(info)
{
// serverside method executed
trace(":: netconnection :: onFault :: info = "+info);
if(typeof(info) == "object") for(var i in info) trace("\t"+i+" = "+info[i])
}
nc.clientNCMethod = function()
{
trace(":: netconnection :: clientNCMethod :: "+arguments);
return { code:"My.Event.Code", detail:"did stuff" }
}
nc.connect(your_app_uri)

this all seems very complicated. i took this from the serverside doc and it
works the other way around too and it's much simpler.

nc.call("serverFunctionName", new rHandler);

rHandler = function() {
this.onResult = function(res){
trace(res)
}
this.onStatus = function(info){
trace("failed and got:" + info.code);
}
};

How about something like this:

this.shObject = SharedObject.getRemote("myobject", this.ncConnection.uri, false);

this.shObject.newMessage = function() {
// whatever my function does
};



ncConnection.call("newMessage", resultObject);


So I'm creating a SharedObject with a "newMessage" method. Then I'm using NetConnection to call "newMessage" on the SharedObject. Would that work?

No, the function must be defined on the Client object in Server-Side ActionScript.
