Without the SimpleConnect component

For most communication components to function properly, if you do not use the SimpleConnect component, you must add the following line of code to your server-side application.onConnect method to successfully register the user name with the server:

gFrameworkFC.getClientGlobals(newClient).username = newUserName;

As described in the Server-Side Communication ActionScript Dictionary, whenever you create an onConnect method, you must explicitly accept the new client's connection.

If you don't use the SimpleConnect component, your server-side script file (main.asc or app_name.asc) file must include the following lines of code:

load("components.asc");
// Listen for the new connection to this application.
// newUserName is a parameter passed in from the client-side nc.connect call.
application.onConnect = function(newClient, newUserName)
{

	// Set the global user name with the user name passed into this function.
	gFrameworkFC.getClientGlobals(newClient).username = newUserName;

	// Accept the connection from the user.
	application.acceptConnection(newClient);


// Note that if your application requires additional code following the
// explicit acceptConnection, you must place that code in an
// application.onConnectAccept statement (required when using components)



}
