NetConnection information objects

231

NetConnection information objects

The NetConnection class has the same information objects as the client-side NetConnection
class.

Code

Level

Meaning

NetConnection.Call.Failed

Error

The NetConnection.call method was not
able to invoke the server-side method or
command.*

*

This information object also has a description property, which is a string that provides a
specific reason for the failure.

NetConnection.Connect.AppShutdown

Error

The application has been shut down (for
example, if the application is out of
memory resources and must shut down
to prevent the server from crashing) or
the server has shut down.

NetConnection.call.BadVersion

Error

The URI specified in the
NetConnection.connect method did not
specify “rtmp” as the protocol. “rtmp”
must be specified when connecting to
Flash Communication Server.

NetConnection.Connect.Closed

Status

The connection was closed successfully.

NetConnection.Connect.Failed

Error

The connection attempt failed.

NetConnection.Connect.Rejected

Error

The client does not have permission to
connect to the application, the
application expected different
parameters from those that were passed,
or the application name specified during
the connection attempt was not found on
the server.†

†

This information object also has an application property, which contains the value that the
application.rejectConnection server-side method returns.

NetConnection.Connect.Success

Status

The connection attempt succeeded.
