I'm trying to make a barebones, simple flash client communicate ANYTHING to a server over a regular socket. I setup the listeners:
socket = new Socket();
socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closed);
socket.addEventListener (DataEvent.DATA, onSocketData);
[code]...
And then I connect. On the server side I have a simple policy server on port 843.And then the real socket server that the flash client is connecting to.The flash client connects to the policy server and gets the policy. The flash client then connects to the actual socket server. I know this because I can both see it when snooping the network traffic and the fact that the Event.CONNECT fires off. From snooping the network traffic I can see the flash client send data TO the server when it:
socket.writeUTFBytes( "TEST CLIENT
");
From the server app I can see the data the client sent. The server then returns a little data. I can see this data going from the server to the client in the network traffic snooper. However, the client NEVER sees the data. It never fires off DataEvent.DATA or ProgressEvent.PROGRESS or ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA. There are no errors and the connection remains open for as long as I want it... but the flash client never seems to see the data... no matter how much I send.
Over and over I read online that the data sent to the flash socket needs to be terminated with a � zero byte. I can verify it is in the network traffic snoop.if I try to read any data from the flash app via something like readUTFBytes it always returns nothing found.
I know this is frequently asked, but I have looked all over the internet to find the mistake I'm making with the code I've used to send and receive data from AS3 to PHP and viceversa.Can you find the mistake? Here is my code:
AS3:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code].....
Not getting data back into flash from php that queries mysql data, think the problem is with my as3 code here?The php works, the as3 posts to the php ok, its the returning of the variables to as3 that I am unsure about and seems to be the problem?
public static function MineData():void{
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("login.php");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

We are thinking of adding a feature to a main page of a flash site that I will be building shortly, but it requires sending data out to an API where it will be processed and send back to Flash.The form will need to post a number of variables to a URL and then interpret the response code.. is this possible in AS2?
View 9 RepliesI've begun playing with Flash and XML Socket Servers and I thought I started taking to it easy, I was able to connect and disconnect to a socket server I wrote and Unity but I seem to be having problems sending and/or recieveing data. I wrote a small amount of code to try it out:

why the socket isn't sending any data after the connect,i also wrote a small pop3 client and it works fine.
I use a socket connection to share data between flash and VB. I check the connection in VB and send a message when my flash is connected. My VB tool then sends the data continuesly (about every 40 milliseconds or slower) to flash. Works fine. Now I have to send some data back from flash to VB. I can send the data without any errors in Flash but it never arrives in VB.
View 3 RepliesI want to retrieve data from a Database and display inside a datagrid in a Flex web application. The way I'm thinking of doing it is :
Send the Query data from .mxml file to the .jsp page using HTTPService. In the .jsp, connect to the database and retrieve the data using select statements. send the results back to the .mxml using HTTPService.
I know what to use but I have an ambiguity. In the (.mxml) I use xxx.send() to send the data. What do I use in the (.jsp) to send it back ? I know that I should store the results in an XML in the .jsp file, but how to do that ?
I am trying to get an xml to load from an external site using a PHP proxy. I have been able to achieve this with the url of the xml hard coded in the PHP though I now wish to get the flash to send the url as a variable to the PHP though I am unsure how to do this.

I am currently working on a project that involves using sockets. I am using Flash CS5 and AIR2.0. I am also using another program that will be acting as the socket server (Esperient Creator).I have successfully SENT socket commands from my AIR app to the server.What I need to do is RECEIVE socket commands within my AIR app from the server program. I read somewhere that this was a new feature for AIR 2.0. If anyone has any insight on how to get this to work.

All of the tutorials I have found re: local connections seem to outline 1 swf sending info & the other swf receiving. Is it possible to have two swfs using exactly the same action script for their variables to effect each other? I've got two swfs with 2 different sets of buttons who react the same way on roll over. Once a button is selected it remains highlighted. I want to know if I can have a button in swf 1 highlighted but un-highlight when a button in swf 2 is selected?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to send an image via a socket in as3 between two AIR applications that I made. It works fine with small images, but with the bigger ones, it gives me this error: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:.text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.". It repeats it several times, so I thought that the image might be cut to smaller ones, is that right? And if it is right, how to restore it??
View 1 RepliesI'm loading a small portion (rectangle), of a png file and extracting the ARGB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue) values of the bitmapdata using C#. I then send this bytearray to the flash player (using sockets). The flash player receives this as a ByteArray. I then use LoadBytes but it gives me the error "unknown file type". I'm guessing that it could be because the data is not png encoded (I don't know how to do it), and loadBytes requires that.

View 1 RepliesRunning my Flash app from localhost (in debug) I can connect/contact the socket server just fine. Note: It doesn't seem as though the server detects any 843 connection (e.g. the policy file port) this way. However, when I move the app to the server itself and run it from there (i.e. from the website), it will send the policy file, get a disconnect (as it should), and then try to execute the regular port stuff but doesn't read anything from Flash. It seems like my Flash app isn't writing to the port as it should, or something else is going wrong. I did also notice that Flash seems to be trying to send the policy-file-request twice.My process right now is like this:
1) Flash tries to connect to port 843. The server responds to its <policy-file-request/> with the policy file.
2) Flash reads it, disconnects from 843
3) Server gets graceful disconnect, then gets another connection on 843.
4) Just after that, the server gets a connection on 2188, but reads another <policy-file-request/>, so sends the policy file again.
5) At this point, Flash SHOULD simply write the string "Test" to the socket (that's in my connect handler). However, my server doesn't seem to read anything on the socket after the second <policy-file-request/>.[code]
I'm developing a web application with Flash CS5 and AS3.0. The problem I'm having is this:At a certain state, the application goes to a frame with a "loading..." animation that loops continuously until the next state is reached. The animation is inside a MovieClip that lives on this frame on the stage (I'm not creating or animating it dynamically). While in this state, the app is waiting to receive a large xml file from an XmlSocket connection. The file takes a few seconds (literally - not milliseconds) to be received fully by the Flash player, and during this time the loading animation stops. I believe the socket is blocking the animation thread until it's done receiving the entire file.Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow the animation to keep playing while the socket is receiving? I've seen pseudo-threading hacks, but those always deal with computations or other activities that can be accomplished by calling a call-back function multiple times. Since I'm just listening on an open socket, there's no callback I could pass to a pseudo-thread.

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?
Is there some built-in limit to the rate at which flash.net.Socket can transfer data? When downloading from a server on localhost, I get a speed of about 5.8 MB/s consistently, while downloading directly from the server (outside of Flash Player) I can over 100 MB/s. Also, if I start two or more concurrent downloads, they all (individually) go at about the same 5.8 MB/s. The CPU use is under 100%. This program demonstrates the phenomenon.

I'm having a problem to receive data from socket.io to Flash (actionscript).
I've tried:
Server (nodejs) socket.io :
var io = require('socket.io').listen(9000);
setInterval(function() {
[Code]....
Flash connects succesful to the server and trace "Connected to flash" but it cannot receive data.
my first flash webpage sends data to a php script. I then do
var result_data:String = String(contactLoader.data);
if (result_data == "ok")
{
navigateToURL(strURL, "_self");
}
So if the data is sent with no problems, it will load up my new url. Problem is, this new url needs this data to display it. So, if my php file holds the data in variables, how can my new url retrieve these in real time? (meaning that data goes straight from swf to php to new swf) I have been trying LoadVars, but not sure if this will work in real time, maybe it will.
I'm setting up a kind of database, where the data are coming from a specific url.
I receive the source code of that url, get the data I look for, and display this in a text box. This works fine as long as I start the swf locally. However, when I copy the swf to my home page, the data obviously cannot be received anymore.
To make it more clear (with fictional url): Homepage [URL] contains the swf; tries to automatically read and display the source of [URL]
