I'm new here, so maybe i'm posting in the wrong channel. Please tell me if it is the case. I'm trying to get a simple client socket class to work with events. I have tried each example found with google with no luck, i just tried the "radio listeners" example from here, which worked fine until i put the broadcaster object within my class.

I'm considering writing a flash client using sockets to connect to a chat server that I've already written in C#. Unfortunately I don't have any AS experience so was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction (to tutorials or the like for socket connections etc).
View 4 RepliesI'm building a Flex application, which is going to perform many server requests (let's say, that almost all interactions require an update from server). At the moment I'm using remote procedure calls for it. But I was wondering if using a socket would be better. In other terms, is maybe better to keep the connection alive rather then performing many calls in sequence? For my demo app I only have 1 client. Is the number of clients connecting to the server a factor for this choice?

I am attempting to use an online Flash file to communicate and pass data to a device linked to a client machine.I have got the Flash to work using sockets and when run from the same machine as the device it works fine.However, the flash file needs to be online and I need a way to allow the data to be passed. At the moment it won't connect to the socket on the client machine (I just get a connection failed message after about 10 secs) and I believe that this has to do with the security settings.
I am looking into Cross Domain Policy files as a way of securing the connection, but all of the information present suggests that these are only applicable to server machines. Can I put a Cross Domain policy file on the client machine that would allow the online flash to access one of it's sockets or will a CDP file on the server hosting the flash file be able to allow access to a client machines sockets?

I have designed with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 a .fla project that integrates a client - server connection. After publishing it, I have the following issue:- when running the generated .exe file for Windows, then the connection to the server works perfectly- but when I am running the published .html file, then nothing is sent to the server.
I have tried to change the Publish Settings. When setting the Local Playback Security in Flash menu to "Access network only" instead of "Access local files only" then the last packet that was send using the .exe file is resent once and that's all (the html client does not receive the response from the server and the next connection attemps generate data transfer). I guess I have to change some security settings somewhere but I didn't find which.

View 21 RepliesI'm writing a SWF that I'd like to communicate with a Java process via Sockets. This is usually quite easy with standard Sockets, but for some reason the events described in the Socket documentation aren't firing when all signs say they should be.
On the Java side, I've set up a ServerSocket that's listening on port 8080. Using netcat I've confirmed it works as designed.[code]...
When I run the resulting SWF, all I get is "Called connect!" on the stage, and none of the events ever fire. Even more strangely, when I investigate the communication from the ServerSocket on the Java end, it receives and accepts a connection. When I close the SWF the code calling my Server completes as normal -- meaning it was hanging on a connection made with my SWF.
I'm left with a few questions...
With the exception of the event handlers, this is the end of control for my code (after the connection is established, we just wait for events and render them appropriately). Could the entire program be "terminating," and I'm just misunderstood about the Runtime model?Are there visibilty/naming requirements for the callbacks for them to be called? They're all public, but could it be that the Runtime isn't seeing them?Are there any gotchas with AS3 Socket programming? I kept thinking this was an issue of sandboxing, etc., but the SECURITY_ERROR didn't fire either.
I'm trying to implement a binary protocol between a flash application and a Custom Java Server using TCP/IP sockets, the protocol's messages are of variable length, so my idea is to add a field indicating the number of bytes I have to read before parsing a complete message, something like this:[code]if while processing a message (supossing it is complete) other data arrives through the socket, are messages of type ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA queued so the number of times my handler is called is equal (at least in this case) to the number of messages arrived or should I read until all data the socket has available? or simpler: are in general messages for a handler queued in flash?

I am trying to debug a socket connection issue between flash in a web browser and flash in a client type program. The connection is closing properly in the web, so I would like to understand how the web side of things work. Right now I can load up a remote flash file in a web browser and that triggers a connection ESTABLISHED stat when viewing with netstats -fn. When I close the dialog which runs some javascript to remove the flash from the dom, the connection stats goes to TIME_WAIT. Does the act of removing the flash from the html DOM sever the flash connection which triggers a TIME_WAIT state? How does that process work?

View 3 RepliesI have an FTP program written that uploads ByteArrays through sockets. It works great on my Mac! I open a command connection, then a data connection, send the ByteArray and then use socket.close() on my data connection. This causes the server to disconnect me and sends the 226:transfer succeeded message back through my command connection. The problem is that in IE8, FF 3.5, and Safari 4 on Windows the socket.close() func does not make the server close the connection. The fact that it works in all of my Mac browsers, and the IDE, but not in Windows browsers makes me think that it's something to do with the Flash Player.

I am working on a project involving two actionscript clients and a java server. XML messages are sent from the clients to the server (and vice versa) via the XMLSocket class. The problem I am running into is that when messages are sent too quickly to one of the clients the client seems to lose track of them (it will not respond to them at all). The wierd part is when subsequent messages come in, the client will respond to old messages instead. It's as if the XML messages are getting queued up somewhere, but the signal that prompts the program to deal with them gets lost.
View 4 RepliesI am migrating an application from flex sdk 3.4 to flex sdk 4.5.I am using a telnet example of AS3 tutorials as base to construct a generic socket class that implement a specific protocol.The main problem is that the new application with the validated socket class does not fire any event (no error - no connected - no data - nothing). The try catch with the connect method does not throw any error. I checked if the events were successfully connected, but they are not fired never.Update: I used the suggestions to modidy the code. Actually, now I am receiving an error on the security policy.
This is the constructor:
public function GenericSocket(server:String, port:int, output:TextArea) {
