I am working on a flash (as 2.0) game communicating with a java socket server. :azn: The game used to work fine with the users logging in and posting messages. :)This was back when we used a virtual network. now it connects to the servers ip and connects and does every thing normal. except for the random disconnection on flashes end. it can stay connected anywhere from 1 second to 2 minutes. :d: the only change in the code was the addition of flash’s policy file. wich could be a problem, but the disconnecting happens even when flash does not request a policy file. can anyone help? or offer a suggestion?
