NetSubControl
NetSubControl is a subcontrol, it provides a way for game clients to communicate shared state to each other and to server agents. All games have access to an automatically shared state in the form of a hash table (also known as a mapping or associative array) that is synchronized among the game's players (clients), with notifications whenever a property is added or modified.
Initialization
You should always access netSubControl via the gameControl, don't try to instantiate the object directly.
<actionscript> public class MyGame extends Sprite {
public MyGame () {
_ctrl = new GameControl(this);
//you can either access the NetSubControl via a handle
//like this
_net = _ctrl.net;
_net.get("myProperty");
//or like this directly via the control object.
_ctrl.net.get("myProperty");
}
protected _ctrl :GameControl; protected _net : NetSubControl;
} </actionscript>
Setting Properties
When you set a property it is immediately distributed to the other clients in the game. Reading a property is immediate, you are reading the properties that have already been distributed. When a client connects to an already-running game, any properties already set will be available.
