Can not call method on flash client from red5 server - red5

Question

So i got stuck on following problem. So far i can call methods from the client on the red5 server but calling methods on the client from red5 server is not working. I got the following code
public function onCreationComplete(event:FlexEvent) : void {
connection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect("rtmp://localhost/simpleChat");
connection.client = this;
so = SharedObject.getRemote("sharedMessage");
connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onConnectionNetStatus);
connection.call("addOne", ro, 5);
}
public function onConnectionNetStatus(event:NetStatusEvent) : void {
if(event.info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
Alert.show("Connection Successful","Information");
} else {
Alert.show("Conection not successful", "Error");
}
}
public function onResult(responder:String): void{
Alert.show(responder);
}
public function onError(e:Object): void{
Alert.show("Got an error: " + e.description);
}
private function onClickSendBtn(event:MouseEvent):void
{
connection.call("broadcastMessageToClients", null, inputTxt.text);
}
public function receiveBroadcastedMessages(msg:String):void
{
outputTxtArea.text += msg + "\n";
}
this is the client side as a flash
and now on the server side the sysout is being called but the method on the client side is not called, what is wrong?
public class Application extends ApplicationAdapter {
/*
* The scope object. A statefull object shared between a group of clients connected to the same context path.
* Scopes are arranged in hierarchical way, so its possible for a scope to have a parent and children scopes.
* If a client connects to a scope then they are also connected to its parent scope. The scope object is used
* to access resources, shared object, streams, etc. That is, scope are general option for grouping things in
* application. The following are all names for scopes: application, room, place, lobby.
*/
private IScope appScope;
/** {#inheritDoc} */
#Override
public boolean connect(IConnection conn, IScope scope, Object[] params) {
// init appScope
appScope = scope;
// create a sharedobject on server and call it "sharedMessage" under the current scope.
createSharedObject(appScope, "sharedMessage", false);
return true;
}
/** {#inheritDoc} */
#Override
public void disconnect(IConnection conn, IScope scope) {
super.disconnect(conn, scope);
}
/* Simple method to illustrate how simple is to access the methods on the server side from the client side.
* if called from the client it adds "1" to the passed argument.
*/
public double addOne(double a) {
return a + 1;
}
/* Simple method to illustrate how simple is to access the methods on the client side from the server side.
* Also this uses the SharedObject to send a unified message to all connected clients
*/
public void broadcastMessageToClients(List<String> params) {
ISharedObject so = getSharedObject(appScope, "sharedMessage");
System.out.println("broadcastMessageToClients...");
// call receiveMessage method on all connected clients
so.sendMessage("receiveBroadcastedMessages", params); // send the received parameter back to all connected clients by calling the "receiveBroadcastedMessages" method on the client side
}

Answer 1

You are invoking the method on the client using a Shared Object but the client SO wasn't connected to the server, the code below demonstrate how to do it
so = SharedObject.getRemote("sharedMessage");
co.client = this; //indicate that this class will have the methods invoked by the server
so.connect(connection); //connect the SO with the server
This code need to be invoked when the connection is successful with the server, so it should be added to onConnectionNetStatus function.
