Problems running my first LCCS test

[Former Community Member]

Environment:

Windows XP, Flash Builder 4.0

Flex SDK 4.1

LCCS SDK Version 1.1 (the one including p2p support)

Flash Player 10.1.53.64

I first had problems compiling, fixed by adding afsc.swc and playerglobal.swc  in the Build Paths.

Here is the sample I try building:

<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute"
    xmlns:rtc="AfcsNameSpace">
   
    <rtc:ConnectSession id="session"/>
    <mx:Panel width="70%" verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10">
        <mx:Text id="display" text="The last message sent will display here" width="100%" fontSize="24" fontWeight="bold"/>
        <mx:TextInput id="input" width="100%" fontSize="18"/>
    </mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>

When running it , I get a white screen.

If I remove xmlns:rtc and rtc:ConnectSession , as in the code below, I am able to view the interface, but obviously it's not actually working.

<mx:Application
     xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     layout="absolute"
   >
    <mx:Panel width="70%" verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10">
         <mx:Text id="display" text="The last message sent will display here" width="100%" fontSize="24" fontWeight="bold"/>
         <mx:TextInput id="input" width="100%" fontSize="18"/>
     </mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>

This happens for any application in the examples directory or various articles about LCCS.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

You are not using Authenticator as well as adding authenticator to connectsession. See the examples in sampleApps and run from there.

Btw, If you just want to have Panel and other flex components, you don't need to add anything to LCCS. And if you need LCCS, please look at the sampleApps folder e.g. CustomRoster, DefaultPods and so on. You will find how connectsessioncontainer and authenticators are used.

Hi There,

It doesn't seem as though you're following the samples we provide quite

closely enough. You need to create an authenticator (AdobeHSAuthenticator,

usually), assign it a username and password (typically your developer

credentials while you're developing), and then assign the authenticator to

the connectsession. Since you're using connectSession rather than

connectSessionContainer, you're also going to need to call

connectSession.login() to kick off the process.

Hope that helps - for more details, see the sample apps, and have a look

at the first videotutorial in the SDK Navigator Application ("Your First

LCCS Application").
