Client-server object communications

The following "object pairs" represent the potential connections you can establish between client-side and server-side objects. For example, when a client-side NetConnection object connects to the server, a server-side Client object is created; this Client object can then call methods of its NetConnection object counterpart.

The following table shows the client-side and server-side objects that are associated with each other.

Client-side object	Corresponding server-side object
my_nc (NetConnection object)	my_client (Client object or application.clients object)
my_ns (NetStream object)	my_server_stream (Stream object)
my_so (remote shared object)	my_server_so (server-side shared object)

In the following table, the client-side calls on the left invoke the server-side calls on the right.

Client-side call	Server-side call
my_nc.connect	application.onConnect
my_nc.close	application.onDisconnect
my_nc.call("doThing", myCallbackFcn, 1, "foo")	my_client.doThing(1, "foo")
my_so.send("doThing", 1, "foo")	my_server_so.doThing(1, "foo")

In the following table, the server-side calls on the left invoke the client-side calls on the right.

Server-side call	Client-side call
my_client.call ("doThing", myCallbackFcn, 1, "foo")	my_nc.doThing (1, "foo")
my_server_stream.send ("doThing", 1, "foo")	my_ns.doThing (1, "foo")
my_server_so.send("doThing", 1, "foo")	my_so.doThing(1, "foo")
