MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004 - ACTIONSCRIPT Reference Manual page 779

Example
The following example illustrates the process of specifying a replacement function for the
method in a simple chat application.
onConnect
The function controls which screen users are taken to, depending on whether a connection is
successfully established. If the connection is successfully made, users are taken to the main chat
screen on the frame labeled
with troubleshooting information on the frame labeled
function myOnConnect(success) {
if (success) {
gotoAndPlay("startChat")
} else {
gotoAndStop("connectionFailed")
}
}
After creating the XMLSocket object using the constructor method, the script installs the
method using the assignment operator:
onConnect
socket = new XMLSocket();
socket.onConnect = myOnConnect;
Finally, the connection is initiated. If
the frame labeled
, the SWF file jumps to a frame labeled
true
screen. The SWF file remains on the
invoked, which happens at some point in the future depending on network latency.
if (!socket.connect(null, 2000)) {
gotoAndStop("connectionFailed")
} else {
gotoAndStop("waitForConnection")
}
