Can the server read varibles, without the client sending it?

[poppop]

Hello,

Is it possible for the server to request the value of a varible or position of a movieclip, without the client sending it?

Only the server requesting it.

So instead of...
================================
CLIENT SITE:

_root.var1 = 123
_root.var2 = 456

function SendToServer(var1, var2){

}
=================================

I could maybe have:

=================================
CLIENT SIDE:

_root.var1 = 123
_root.var2 = 456

function SendToServer(){

}

SERVER SIDE:

function Check Player1's var1 and var 2 value

=============================


Hope this makes sense.


Thanks.

You're reversing the problem... it's not the server that sends requests to the client, it's the opposite.
At least in terms of logic.

If the client needs to update certain data (mc positions or whatever else) just send a message to the server.

Can the server do it then?

Can it request info from the client, without the client sending it?

if a varible in the client side is _root.var = "xxx"

Could the server just request that without the client sending it to the server first?


Thanks.

of course. The server can send a message with a certain "command" name.
Let's it is called "tellMeTheVariable"

When this message gets to the client, the client responds with the value.
