Using multiuser behaviors

The Library palette includes eight Multiuser behaviors that assist you in creating multiuser applications. To access the Multiuser behaviors from the Library List, choose Internet > Multiuser.

Director Multiuser behaviors include the following:

| `Connect to Server` connects your user to the Shockwave Multiuser Server. You drag the `Connect to Server` behavior to the sprite your user will click to establish a server connection. You can attach this behavior to any type of sprite; it's usually attached to a button or bitmap. For additional information, see Connecting users to the Multiuser Server.
| `Disconnect From Server` lets your user disconnect from the Shockwave Multiuser Server on MouseUp. In the behavior parameters, you can specify a marker in the Score to go to after your user disconnects. You can attach the `Disconnect from Server` behavior to any type of sprite.
| You attach the `Send Chat Button` behavior to the sprite that your user will click to send information to the Multiuser Server. You can attach the `Send Chat Button` behavior to any type of sprite. In the behavior parameters, you select the sprite that contains the information to send.
| `Whiteboard (Shared Canvas)` is a behavior that works with the `Canvas` behavior and with other paintbox behaviors. You can attach the `Whiteboard (Shared Canvas)` behavior only to a bitmap sprite.
| You attach the `Chat Output` behavior to the field or text sprite that displays text that other chat members send. Behavior parameters include the ability to add a welcome message and the ability to specify the total number of text lines that will appear in the text output area.
| `Chat Input` is the behavior you attach to the text or field sprite in which your user enters information.
| You can attach the `Display Group Member Names` behavior to a sprite to display a list of group members. You can attach this behavior to a field or text sprite.
| By attaching the `Display Group List` behavior to a sprite, you're including functionality that displays a list of groups, and the members within the group. You can attach this behavior to a field or text sprite.
