Client.readAccess

Availability

Flash Communication Server MX 1.0.

Usage

clientObject.readAccess

Description

Property; a string that provides read-access rights to directories that contain application

resources (shared objects and streams) for this client. To give a client read access to directories

containing application resources, list directories in a string delimited by semicolons.

By default, all clients have full read access, and the

readAccess property is set to slash (/). To

give a client read access, specify a list of access levels (in URI format), delimited by

semicolons. Any files or directories within a specified URI are also considered accessible. For

example, if

myMedia is specified as an access level, then any files or directories in the myMedia

directory are also accessible (for example, myMedia/mp3s). Similarly, any files or directories in

the myMedia/mp3s directory are also accessible, and so on.

Clients with read access to a directory that contains streams can play streams in the specified

access levels. Clients with read access to a directory that contains shared objects can subscribe

to shared objects in the specified access levels and receive notification of changes in the shared

objects.

■ For streams, readAccess controls the streams that the connection can play.

■ For shared objects, readAccess controls if the connection can listen to shared object

changes.

Example

The following onConnect function gives a client read access to myMedia/mp3s, myData/

notes, and any files or directories within them:

application.onConnect = function(newClient, name){

newClient.readAccess = "myMedia/mp3s;myData/notes";

};
