won't sending an empty object help then? I remember reading somewhere that sometimes theres a kind of disconnect that smartfox won't be able to detect, it's happened to me on my games a few times while they've been developed.

One way I thought about doing it was just to send a dummy object from the client: var o:Object = new Object(); o.id = _DUMMY; smartfox.sendObject(o); Then on the receiving side just throw away the dummy object when it gets received. I'd set a timer to make this fire every 10 or 20 seconds. It seems ...

Ah yes, I can see how that'd mess things up... Now the only thing is, I'm not sure why exactly that happens... The zone is set up like this: <Zone name="bumperZone"> <Rooms> <Room name="Main Lobby" maxUsers="50" isPrivate="false" isTemp="false" autoJ...
