Get calling UserName by UserID

[Hinne]

I want to do this:

        private function getUserName(sUserID:String):String
        {
            ?
        }

I do this:

            collectionNode = new CollectionNode();
            collectionNode.sharedID = "dataObject";
            collectionNode.connectSession = _cSession;
            collectionNode.subscribe();
            collectionNode.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.ITEM_RECEIVE, onItemReceive);

          ...

and need the UserName in onItemReceive

Hi Henry,

Not sure I understand what you're getting at here. Generally,

_cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(sUserID).displayName will give you

what you want, provided the session is synched up.

hope that helps,

OK

        private function getUserName(sUserID:String):String
        {
            if (_cSession.isSynchronized) {
                return _cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(sUserID).displayName;
            } else {
                return "";
            }
        }

Or can force to sync? I would hate to return "".

Or is the CollectionNodeEvent.ITEM_RECEIVE event proc always called in synchronized state?

Hi,

Assuming your user is connected and in the room, the session's in sync, so

you're right, you'll always be in sync during ITEM_RECEIVE.
