Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
I tried out DizzyDoo's Lacewing tutorials and they were just fantastic. It's a solid intro to multiplayer and Lacewing.
The samples worked when building a desktop app but fails when trying to build as a Flash swf multiplayer. From what I've gathered it has a lot to do with how Flash receives messages.
Question: Does anyone have a sample Flash multiplayer tutorial or an equivalent to DizzyDoo's Lacewing info?
Thanks everyone.
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
I don't think there's a flash tutorial. The biggest thing (apart from extensions) you can't use in flash is UDP (blast). You will have to deal with TCP only.

Can I have the MFA that works in the standard runtime but not in Flash?

I am using the MFA from DizzyDoo's tutorial. Here's the link at:

It would be super awesome if that can be modified for Flash.
Thanks so much!
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
It's more a case of the Flash version of the extension being fixed. The events should be exactly the same for standard and Flash.
EDIT: Ah, I see it's because Flash currently doesn't support channel listing. That will probably be fixed in the next build.

Any idea when that will be available?
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
I'll just throw in another Lacewing Flash bug, the On Channel Peer Loop Finished event never triggers.
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
I can't find lacewing in my objects menu :S
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
You need to install the latest update for the products.
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
So what can you do with lacewing in flash?
Re: Lacewing + Flash + Multiplayer Info
No, the question remains what can't you do. Because otherwise the possibilities are almost endless.
Turn-based games are the easiest and best, but other types of games can be made but not easily and not as fast as flash won't allow UDP.
