A modest submission

It took a minute, but I got something running!
It's modest, but it works :)

Thx for all of your work on Lacewing & Flash.
Of course you won't get the full affect if no one else is there lol

I'm having a problem though.

You can log in as guest, password guest1 to see it.
when I go to the next screen, the art work from the previous screen leaves like a quick shadow.

I inquired about refresh options, but no one seems to know about it.

Also I built the login system using a client.
The problem I'm having with that is that the client becomes inactive after a while and I have to re-start it.
any suggestions on that one?

Just send text to the server every now and then to keep the client connection to the server active. Later versions will have this fixed so that a ping-pong like this will happen automatically.

That's a good idea.
I was just thinking of putting a counter in to do something every 5 minutes. Is there a cutoff time for inactivity built in?

Also, any ideas about the refresh thing?
Did you log in to see the problem?
name guest, password guest1, leave the second field blank

thx

There's no built in cut off because it isn't a feature and is not meant to happen at all; it just depends on the ISP I guess, I really have no clue why it happens.

Ok I put the client to sent a message every 2 minutes and so far so good.

thx

Ok, I've put this version in a place that will not require re-posting the location. Check in now and then to see progress. If you are trying to build a flash multi-player it might be encoruaging. ;)

Haha, looks like you have some serious tree-wall-corner collision bugs to fix ;)

blank chat
collision
username stay above others
none stop walking animation
safety against animation

These all have fixes.
Some fixes I feel better about than others :S
Thx for helping me locate issues LB.
BTW, I added a combat room.
Course, that's just the room :)
