What's Wrong With SmartFoxServer Pro's API?

[coolboy714cp]

I think something is wrong with SmartFoxServer Pro, or is it Flash? Everytime I download and install SFS Pro or SFS Basic, I get the same error:

-------------WARNING! API is obsolete-------------

or something like that. How can I fix this error? Im using an old version of Flash, Flash MX 2004. I like it better than CS4. Anyway, I have used SFS Pro many times before this error, and it has happened to me before actually. It seems to fix on it's own, but I don't think it will this time.

I have the correct API installed, and everything. I don't know what the problem is.

Someone please tell me how to fix this.

Thanks,

Make sure you read the API usage instruction, first:
http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/docP ... alling.htm

Also, you probably have older SmartFoxServer API installed via the Adobe/Macromedia Extenion Manager which you can safely uninstall.

What's wrong with it now?

Please reply asap.

The Delegate class is part of the Flash packages --> mx.utils.Delegate
It seems very strange that your compiler is not able to find the class. I would suspect your current Flash installation is corrupt. Or maybe it's just too old.
You said you use MX2004. Make sure that you have the 2nd update for tha version installed. If I remember correctly it was version 7.2
I cannot guarantee it will work with that but at least you can try.

I will try to reinstall Flash. It should work because I used to have Pro version and not have any errors. So thanks for all your help!

Well, I uninstalled, then reinstalled Flash, and that didn't do anything. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled SmartFoxServer and got these errors: (in AvatarChat.fla)

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer={ code }, frame=9:Line 60: The class 'SmartFoxClient' could not be loaded.
var smartfox:SmartFoxClient = new SmartFoxClient()

Ive done everything youve said, and it still comes up with the same errors above. Is it because my Flash is too old?

Please reply asap again.

Thanks,
CoolBoy714CP

[Lapo]

Yes, the problem is with your Flash.
I highly recommend to use Flash 8 at least.

[coolboy714cp]

Okay, Ill use CS4. If I installed Flash MX2004 on a different computer, do you think it would work? Is it even a possibility of it working with Flash MX2004?

Thanks,
CoolBoy714CP

[coolboy714cp]

I'm now using Flash CS4, and there is now only one error... In the SmartFoxClient.as file. It's deals with line 511 in it. I'm in version 1.6.6.

Please help me with this if you can.

Also, tell me if you need the exact output error.

Thanks,
CoolBoy714CP

[Lapo]

Please do report the version of the API (which is not 1.6.6, the API have their own version, see the getVersion() method)
and the error message

thanks
