Update: I've found that the actual problem lies somewhere in the "errCode = sConnect.SetNetMessageHandler( #DefaultMessageHandler, script 1 )" line - I'm not sure how to get around this problem as I need the NetMessageHandler in order to communicate with the server (unless there's some other way that I'm not aware of to do the server/client communication)

Again, your help would be greatly appreciated!

(I apologize for the triple post, but I can't seem to find an edit button anywhere..)


Upon even further research I have determined that the actual error occurs once a sendNetMessage command is sent to the server from the client. (for example, if I were to run the following code on the client in the browser it would cause the crash when you quit the game):

errCode = sConnect.sendNetMessage([#recipients:"system.script", #subject:"LoadChar",#content:AcctDat])

Is there a way to clear it somehow in the on stopmovie method?

Here's the script I'm using. Perhaps one of you can find a problem with it that will solve the problem.


global sConnect, MuteCountdown
on stopmovie
  sConnect = 0
  clearglobals
end stopMovie

on DefaultMessageHandler
  global sConnect, uname, passphrase, IAmAdmin, IAmMod, IAmGuide, MuteCountdown
  newMessage = sConnect.getNetMessage()
  errCode = newMessage.errorCode
  if errCode <> 0 then
    alert "Error: "& errCode & " : " & sConnect.getNetErrorString(errCode)  
  else  
    if newMessage.Subject = "OkayToLog" then
      play frame 30
    end if
    if newMessage.SenderID = "System" AND newMessage.Subject = "ConnectToNetServer" then
      play frame 5
    end if
  end if
end

-- LoadMeUp
-- Command lines that run when the login button is pressed
-- Creates the multiuser xtra instance and the connection to the server.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on LoadMeUp
  set uname = field (member "username" of castlib "Internal")
  set passphrase = field (member "password" of castlib "Internal")
  sConnect = new(xtra "Multiuser")
  errCode = sConnect.setNetMessageHandler(#DefaultMessageHandler, script 1)
  errCode = sConnect.ConnectToNetServer( uname, passphrase, "server.theserv", 1626, "MainMovie" )
  play frame 4
end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- LoadCharacterCommand
-- The script below is the problem causer. I'm not sure how to clear it
-- in the on StopMovie command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on LoadCharacterCommand
  set uname = field(member "Username" of castlib "Internal")
  set passphrase = field(member "Password" of castlib "Internal")
  set CharDt = uname & ":" & passphrase
  -- The Commented line below is how I would normally send a command like this, the one below is how I have it set now, it makes no difference which I use. They both cause the crash in the end.
  -- errCode = sConnect.sendNetMessage([#recipients:"system.script", #subject:"LoadChar", #content:CharDt])
  errCode = sConnect.sendNetMessage("system.script", "LoadChar", CharDt)
end

I'd search Direct-L <http://listserv.uark.edu/archives/direct-l.html> and if you can't find the answer post to it!
