Hi
I’m making a multi user yahtzee game with flash as my game interface and java servlets as my business logic layer.
What happens: flash connects with a servlet, flash does a sendandload of some parameters, java picks those parameters up, java processes info using these parameters and sends new parameters back to flash. Flash picks those new parameters up with its loadvars and does something with them.
My problem: this situation works perfectly in a perfect situation (client & server are connected with a fast ethernet cable). But when I test this with a wireless connection or a slow internet connection everything fails.
Why? I think because flash has several setInterval’s running, which are all polling the java servlets for info but some connection fail because of the low speed internet.
Is there a better way for communicating with java?
**What I’d really like is that flash doesn’t have to set up Intervals which are all asking every 1 second for “new info”. I’d like that java just sends info when it has new info and a listener in my swf picks up this new info.
**
I don’t have any experience with this technique. Is this possible? Where should I look for info?
ps: I tried “remoting” but I couldn’t set it up and use it.
Thanks in advance
