Description
Method; broadcasts a message to all connected clients.
This method is equivalent to looping through the array and calling
Application.clients
on each individual client, but is more efficient (especially for large number of
Client.call()
connected clients). The only difference is that you can't specify a response object when you
call , otherwise, the syntax is the same.
broadcastMsg()
Shared objects can handle broadcast messages with the
SharedObject.handlerName
property.
Example
The following server-side code sends a message to the client:
application.broadcastMsg("handlerName", "Hello World");
The following client-side code catches the message and prints it in the Output panel:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.handlerName = function(msg) { trace(msg); }
// traces out "Hello World"
