Calling all Shared Object junkies... 2004-03-18 - By Jesse Warden

To extend Dario's explanations:
NetConnection.call:
- when a client does this, if there is a method on the server-side that is
attached to his client object, he'll call it. I don't know if it applies to
the Client class vs. the client instance, but regardless, if it exists,
it'll get called. If the method exists, but isn't attached to the client
instance, it won't get called. No other clients get this message.
The primary use for this is to call a message on the server.
NetStream.send:
- this generates an event. If any connected client, including the one who
called it, has a method with the name of the string you pass in, it'll get
called, and passed any parameters you pass in optionally. This includes
client & server, assuming the server is both connected to the NetStream
instance, and has a method named that attached to it's instance.
The primary use for this is to trigger an event for those watching/listening
to a specific NetStream. This implies collaboration of some sort.
The secondary use for this is to save that event. In the case of
NetStream's that are being recorded, those event triggers will be saved, and
when the FLV is played back later (with Flash Player 6.0.79.0, hehe), those
events will be fired off and triggered at the time they were fired when the
stream was being recorded.
SharedObject.send:
- same as NetStream, except no recording.
The primary use for this is to trigger an event for those clients (&
server), connected to the SharedObject instance. Since SharedObjects are
usually shared data, or a the server "Model", these messages usually imply
events dealing with the data associated as such.
As far as which messages get through and dropped; I can't remember the
specifics, but another MM engineer dude talked about it in the past on this
list, listing exactly what is and isn't dropped. Check the archives.

you can call a function from all clients connected to this S.O.

if you are assuming that each client is connected and each client is
receiving the same stream and each client is connected to the same
shareobject they are absolutely identical.
MM gave those 3 ways of calling a remote method to be able to address
"specific" flash-client classes
Sorry for my bad english, i hope i gave some help.
