Inheritance	UpdateUserVariableRequest EsRequest EsMessage flash.events.Event

This request creates or updates a user variable. A user variable is a name/value pair scoped to a user and store in the server. A user can see his/her own user variables, and can see the user variables for all people in the same room as them. The value is an EsObject. In addition to creating a user variable with this request, user variables can be created during the login process (see LoginRequest) or by the server. A user variable is deleted using the DeleteUserVariableRequest. This shows how to create a user variable and capture the update event.
