Correct way to close session

Question

Hi,
I'm working with flash, not flex. I want to be able to
1. add an afcs object to stage,
2. subscribe to a baton property,
3. unsubscribe
4. remove the afcs object
5... repeat
1 to 4 are working, but when I try and repeat the process, I can't seem to subscribe.
I have three buttons on stage to add, logout and remove
function onLogin(e:MouseEvent):void
cocomo = new CocomoTest();
addChild(cocomo);
cocomo.login();
function onLogout(e:MouseEvent):void
cocomo.destroy();
function onRemove(e:MouseEvent):void
removeChild(cocomo);
And this is the Class
package
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.adobe.rtc.session.ConnectSession;
import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.AdobeHSAuthenticator;
import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.LocalAuthenticator;
import com.adobe.rtc.events.SessionEvent;
import com.adobe.rtc.sharedModel.SharedProperty;
import com.adobe.rtc.sharedModel.BatonProperty;
import com.adobe.rtc.events.SharedPropertyEvent;
import com.adobe.rtc.events.SharedModelEvent;
public class CocomoTest extends MovieClip
  private var auth:AdobeHSAuthenticator;
  private var authL:LocalAuthenticator;
  private var session:ConnectSession;
  public var table1_northPlayer:BatonProperty;
  private var LOGINSYNCTYPE:String;
  public function Cocomo()
  //so step[ 1 is to log in...
  //after login and subscribing, I get notified:
  //RECEIVENODES table1_northPlayer
  //receiveAllSynchData table1_northPlayer
  public function login():void
   auth      = new AdobeHSAuthenticator();
   auth.userName     = "myname";
   session     = new ConnectSession();
   session.roomURL   = "myroomurl";
   session.authenticator  = auth;
   session.addEventListener(SessionEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, onLogin);
   try
    LOGINSYNCTYPE    = "login";
    session.login();  
   catch(e:Error)
    trace (e.toString());
  //then i logout, close, any number of combinations i've tried
  //and remove the object from stage
  public function destroy():void
   table1_northPlayer.close();
   LOGINSYNCTYPE    = "logout";
   session.logout();
  private function onLogin(p_evt:SessionEvent):void
   switch (LOGINSYNCTYPE)
    case "login":
     trace ('login');
     table1_northPlayer     = new BatonProperty();
     table1_northPlayer.sharedID      = "table1_northPlayer";
     table1_northPlayer.subscribe();
    break;
    case "logout":
     trace ('logout');
     LOGINSYNCTYPE    = "close";
     session.close();
    break;
finally, when I try and repeat the process, i log in ok, but don't get the
RECEIVENODES table1_northPlayer
receiveAllSynchData table1_northPlayer
It seems like I'm not claring something properly but I'm not sure what.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Mr. Turtle,
In this case, you're unwittingly taking advantage of the fact that LCCS objects, by default, subscribe themselves to the first ConnectSession you create. However, because you're creating fresh ConnectSessions each time, the objects are still grabbing an old ConnectSession, so they never succeed in synching past the first time. 2 ways you can remedy this :
1.  Explicitly bind your LCCS objects to the correct ConnectSession. (ie. table1_northPlayer.connectSession = session;)
2.  Instead of creating new ConnectSessions each time, re-use the original one.
Either approach should work.
  hope that helps,
