Client.readAccess

Availability

Flash Communication Server MX.

Usage

Client.readAccess

Description

Property; provides read-access rights to directories that contain application resources (shared objects and streams) for this client. To give a client read access to directories containing application resources, list directories in a string delimited by semicolons.

By default, all clients have full read access, and the readAccess property is set to slash (/). To give a client read access, specify a list of access levels (in URI format), delimited by semicolons. Any files or directories within a specified URI are also considered accessible. For example, if myMedia is specified as an access level, then any files or directories in the myMedia directory are also accessible (for example, myMedia/mp3s). Similarly, any files or directories in the myMedia/mp3s directory are also accessible, and so on.

Clients with read access to a directory that contains streams can play streams in the specified access levels. Clients with read access to a directory that contains shared objects can subscribe to shared objects in the specified access levels and receive notification of changes in the shared objects.

	For streams, readAccess controls which streams can be played by the connection.
	For shared objects, readAccess controls if the connection can listen to shared object changes.

Tip: Although you cannot use this property to control access for a particular file, you can create a separate directory for a file if you want to control access to it.

Example

The following onConnect function gives a client read access to myMedia/mp3s, myData/notes, and any files or directories within them:

application.onConnect = function(newClient, name){
	newClient.readAccess = "myMedia/mp3s;myData/notes";
};
