getAvailableCasts() always returns 0 length array

Postby Satyarth » 01 Jun 2011, 20:00

I am not sure what i am doing wrong. But getAvailableCasts() function always returns array with 0 length.

Lapo please comment


Piece of my code :

private function onLiveCastPublished(ev:RedBoxCastEvent):void
{
var liveCast:LiveCast = ev.params.liveCast

// Subscribe live cast
var stream:NetStream = avCastMan.subscribeLiveCast(liveCast.id);

...... //Some other code

}

private function onAVCastConnectionInited(ev:RedBoxCastEvent):void {

/*Listen for live broadcasts*/
var castsArray:Array = avCastMan.getAvailableCasts();
trace("LENGTH :", castsArray.length); //ALWAYS 0
.... //Some other code
}

public function publishLiveCast():void
{
try{
avCastMan.publishLiveCast(true, true);
}
catch(e:NoAVConnectionException)
{
/*Show Error Popup to the user*/
dispatchEvent(new Event("RedBoxConnectionError"));
}
}

Solved the issue. To have getAvailableCasts() work for you, you need to make sure that it is called after SmartFox room is joined.

In my case there was a race condition and getAvailableCasts() was being called before room was joined.

I'm having the same problem, only waiting to make sure I join a room doesn't help. No matter what I've tried, the getAvailableCasts is always empty or null.

Fixed

So I've solved my problem regarding the empty getAvailableCasts array. It's not that it's empty. It's that it's an associative array.

So instead of doing:
for(i=0; i < length; i++)

You have to do:
for each(var livecast:LiveCast in array)

Although the first method should work regardless, it's actually because I was limiting "length" to the max number of streams I was expecting.
So I was doing:
length = Math.min(getAvailableCasts.length, maxStreams)

*pseudo code*
