Hi,

I am experimenting with a Perl xml socket server. This is all going well.

When a new user connects, the server automatically generates a usernumber which appears in the flash movie. What I am trying to do is replace this usernumber for it's actual username.

I wonder what the best way is to do this? Can a username be passed through from flash to the socket server at the time of connection? Or should there first be a connection > once connected send the userno associated with the new user back to him > send a message back to the server saying replace this username for the real user name?

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raoul
