Tracking Users NEED HELP ASAP

[PHUGpuba]

Can anyone out there help me with the following issues???

We are currently building a red5 communications tool (and advanced chat system) built on the oflaDemo. We have currently coded majority of it in AS3 using the flash IDE. I have made a few adjustments to the Application.java file in order to delete/disconnect users from the so.

How the chat tool works:

Users are anonymously logged in and a random user id is created and dumped into an array stored within the so. Users are randomly thrown into dynamic rooms generated in AS3 and stored in the so.
 

The issues:
1. The delete/disconnect function I added to the application.java does not update all users
2.We can’t seem to track all users/clients that are connected to red5
3. It seems that the user array and room array are specific to the so in the flash player instead of globally across all rooms and users

Is there a way in AS3 to create a global user array and room array so we can track how many users are logged on across all rooms? We need to be able to determine a max user count per room and when this limit is reached randomly put users into another room. We also need to display an accurate user population for all connected users. We also need to know if and how we can display multiple so’s within the same window in order to give the user different view options?

I am open to all suggestions, I would prefer to be able to solve this in AS3 but I am willing to do some java as well if needed.

Thanks in advance!

In which classes do you create your arrays?

Steven, Not quite clear on the question.

I think this is what you are asking for:

function loginUser():void {
        if (remote_so.data.userArray == undefined) {
                userArray = new Array();
        } else {
                userArray=remote_so.data.userArray;
        }
        userArray.push({name:userName});

        remote_so.setProperty("userArray", userArray);
        remote_so.setProperty("chatText", chatInputWin.chatInput.text);
        remote_so.setDirty("userArray");
       
        checkRoom();
        createUserList();

        login.visible = false;
       
}

You can try to add an html event handler in the code, which calls javaScript
to your swf, which triggers a function to remove its name from the array,
however, not %100 reliable.

Java is really the easiest and most robust way to support all of that.

SOLUTION : Complete java and as3.lib to power it

Hello,

While they have not paid me yet, it was brought to my attention that the
'clients' have made the entire source code available of my work plus their
own fla GUI file.

"zos Comm Killer Comm. Tool application for ZOS site!"
http://204.10.243.222:5080/demos/

Including the docs I sent them.

http://204.10.243.222:5080/demos/zos/zosdoc/thebitstream/randomchat/RandomChat.html

Frankly I was suprised to find it available like this. Actually I dont think
I am going to get paid so Im making sure this thread terminated with a
working solution and benifit at least the community at large. Its a common
isssue.

There are also pure flex samples I built to show them how to use the tool.
If interested ,contact me and Ill dig for them. In particular, the
'controller.swf' flex file is available, which shows the list of rooms, and
enables user creation of a room. As a bonus, it has graphical representation
of room population.

 java, fla's and an GUI-independant as3 library to power it.

Andy

P.S.
'Random chat'
Features of the API.

1. Room size limit set on server.

2. Create new rooms automatically when full.

2. Number of visible users set in flex and choosen at random.
    a  You can shuffle the visible users from the room population.
    b. You can stick users to your chat and not loose them during shuffle.
    c. You can add permanaent friends which are always made sticky when they
join the room.
    d. Friends ordered by index, and knock out other users first, or lower
friends when they arrive.

3. List of all rooms at single depth scope.

4. List of all users in a room.

Killer api ready to roll!
