Hi kyle,
I did not have issues having NetStream.Connect.Success dispatched over NetConnection. Just make sure you define NetStream instance that is referenced somewhere. See the section “NetGroup.Connect.Closed”, the same thing happens to NetStream if you create function variable and you loose reference to it – it gets garbaged.

Have you had success with this working with NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTION…
i can’t get the netconnection object to fire the NetStream.Connect.Success event..

When I use a singleton for the NetConnection it doesn’t work..
if i create a brand new NetConnection object before i create my new NetStream it works but that is not helpful cause then i have to fetch brand new nearID’s for all connected peers in the group inorder for them to talk to eachother…

can’t find any information on this but i think its a bug.

Thanks!!

Hi Daniel, I usualy use only one NetConnection instance for the whole app. I believe it is enough, while you can attach as much NetStreams as you wish …. it may be singleton, sure.

Hello friend.
I’m just developing my first p2p app and I came up with some of your issues too.
The “NetStream.Connect.Success” event was driving me crazy.
Since I use only one instance of my netConnection (a singleton) for the entire app,
I was loosing control of my listeners because of that “feature”.
And your workaround saved me. Thank you.
But tell me, how do you manage your netConnections? Do you use a singleton for the entire app too or do you create a new netConnection for each component that needs it?
Regards
Daniel
