messagesRef = Firebase(url: "https://swift-chat.firebaseio.com/messages")

        // *** STEP 4: RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM FIREBASE
        messagesRef.observeEventType(FEventType.ChildAdded, withBlock: { (snapshot) in
            let text = snapshot.value["text"] as? String
            let sender = snapshot.value["sender"] as? String
            let imageUrl = snapshot.value["imageUrl"] as? String
            
            let message = Message(text: text, sender: sender, imageUrl: imageUrl)
            self.messages.append(message)
            self.finishReceivingMessage()
        })
    }
    
based on that, i'd try something like:

messagesRef = Firebase(url: "https://swift-chat.firebaseio.com/ whatever the path to room info is

        // *** STEP 4: RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM FIREBASE
        messagesRef.observeEventType(FEventType.Value, withBlock: { (snapshot) in
        
          then do whatever here
