Flash multi-player system: one player moves the other stops when using the mouse

Question

I started making a small multi-player avatar chat to start my self with flash and multi-player. Everything worked fine when I was using arrows to move but when I started using the mouse something goes wrong.

Bit more info: When two or more users are connected at the same time and both on the users try to move one user will move and the other will stop in its tracks as the other users data is recived from the server.

EG: User one clicks to move and starts moving. Player two click while player one is in transit. Then player one stops before they reach there desired X,Y and user two carrys on until user one go's to move again.

When using the keys to move all players can move at the same time as there is no need for a loop which im guessing has something to do with the problem.

This is the code: http://pastebin.com/dCanCtP3

Answer 1

Every time you receive data, you overwrite your USER, MXX, and MYY global variables. You only store the data for one user at a time, so that is why only one user can move at any one time.

Consider making a class to represent a user and where it needs to move to, and then using an array to store all the users that are currently moving.
