Php :: Php-Flash Communication Over Sockets?
Nov 5, 2009I am not any kind of network programming pro, but it happened that I have faced necessity to develop socket-server on php (no way for using Java) for flash multiplayer browser-game (standard features like locations, team battles, etc).
The main problem is that TCP is point-to-point protocol and it completely occupies given port.Of course it is possible to create some kind of queue, which will manage connections to the socket, but this solution doesn't seems to be the fittest one.
It seems to me that using interval of "fair" ports (from 2000 to 2200, for example) is more fitting solution, because one request may take a lot of time to execute and players won't be happy to wait in queue.
But how can I implement this "port inteval" strategy?The solutions that I see are:
launcing php-script per every port (he-he, 2 hundreds of launched scripts!);somehow forking the initial process to new processes (2 hundreds of processed? Not nice too), one for every port;additional while-loop, which listens all the ports (looks very bad);using threading or something like that (the problem is that php is single-threaded, as far as I know; pcntl?).But somehow I don't like any of them, or at least don't know how to implement them in the best possible way.
What is the best existing strategy to handle multiple requests from multiple users per time unit without delays, and how to implement this strategy in php? We have our own Debian-server, so it is possible to use any required php extensions.
For example, if we are trying to develop chat application, we need some sort of fixed (I mean persistent) connections for each user. For example, we have 80 users in chat, and then one of them posted a message, which server tries to handle and send to all other connected users, also putting an entry to the history file or something like that.
In this situation polling server for new messages every 10 seconds from each of 80 users is craziness, so the need in persistent connection gets obvious.But I don't know what is the best way to implement something like this, considering that not all requests are handled instanlty.

Flash - AMF Sockets Out Of Sync When Using ServerSocket In AIR?
Mar 2, 2011I have two (+) systems on a local network running an AIR application that need to send/receive updated positions and other events between each other. I'm currently using an AIR-based socket server one of the instances. The AMF and strong typing works great. What doesn't, however, is the syncing between clients.
In my example below, clientA is trying to send an AMF packet to clientB. The SOCKET_DATA events fire off as expected on the server, in sync with the mouse, however the data that clientB receives very quickly gets out of sync and events are lost.
It's fine if an occasional event gets dropped, however I need to know the most recent SOCKET_DATA event has the latest data. Instead, it just contains increasingly older data.
Code Snippets:
clientA writeObject: (on MOUSE_MOVE to test large number of events)
protected function stage_mouseMoveHandler ( pEvent : MouseEvent ) : void

Mysql :: Database - Connection With Sockets Or PHP?
Jan 9, 2012So, we want to move out from Air (Adobe stopping support and really bad implementation for the sqlite api, among other things). I want to make 3 things:
Connect with a flash (not web) application to a local mysql database.
Connect with a falsh (not web) application to a remote mysql database.
Connect with a flash (web) application with a remote mysql database.
[Code]...
if you can connect with socket wit mysql server, why use a web server (for example with php) to connect like a inter connectioN? why not connnect directly? I have done this a lot of times, using AMFPHP for example, but wouldn't be faster going directly? In the case of accessing local machine, it will be a more simple deploy application that only require the flash application + mysql server, not need to also instal a web server.
Actionscript 3 :: Sockets Disconnected Automatically?
Mar 11, 2012I created a Socket and a ServerSocket objects in as3, then I connected the socket using the connect method by passing to it a host and a port.

When the ServerSocket detects a connection and start receiving data, the socket object is disconnected automatically. So I want to know how to keep the connection alive in the socket object..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sockets And Multiplayer Games

but it creates a horrendous cache of XML as it simply sends and receives an xml file between players (poleing I believe). I want to convert this to a socket connection. However I really want to know: -do you need your own webserver (I have an old PC I can convert to one fine), but how do I set it up (php, Red5?) -the examples I have refer to old versions of Flah and sometimes use the (legendary Senoculars) class KeyObject.as So ~ I know what I want to do Ive got half way there anybody know the other half?

View 3 RepliesPhp :: Flex Sockets Not Sending Data On Windows?
Sep 17, 2010I am building a really simple Chat server/client using PHP and Flex. I have followed many tutorials and have a working server in PHP and a working client in Flex, except that if I use the client on Windows I can't send any messages.When I send a message on my Mac it goes through to the server and gets sent to all the clients, including any Windows client I may have connected. The message will actually display on Windows clients as well, it's only when I try sending from Windows that it doesn't work.
I've tried adding a crossdomain.xml file served by a PHP script listening on the correct port, but none of the clients ever seem to ask for it, and if the client works on Mac I assumed it should work on Windows. By the way I'm exporting the project as an AIR file (dunno if that makes a difference).I can't find anything regarding this so I'm wondering if I'm being stupid somewhere or whether I need to takes some special measures for Windows clients?I have pasted my client code below.

View 1 RepliesC++ :: Recombine Split TCP Packet With Flash Sockets?
May 20, 2011I have a program in c++ that sends a socket of 23723 bytes to a flash player in one "shot".The flash player sometimes receives two packets of size 17520 and 6203, and other times it receives a single packet of 23723.
EDIT: There does not seem to be a way to obtain the total number of bytes associated with the send data from flash. This would make it very difficult to build a loop to reconstruct the "broken" packet.I thought TCP was supposed to correctly recombine the packets and I am having difficulty recombining them myself.This is my receiving handler in flash:
var socket:Socket = new Socket();
socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, socketConnectHandler);
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketDataReceivedHandler);[code]...
will at times print 23723, and at other times, will print 17520 quickly followed by 6203. The total size are just examples and are subject to change for each send sockets. Also many sockets can be sent or received at the same time, so the split packets can be inter-mixed. In c++ I could determine what the total size of the sent data was, even if I did not receive the whole sent data yet.

C++ :: Transmit Data From C++ To Flex / Air Faster Than Sockets?
Feb 1, 2012I have a C++ application which sends images to a Flex/Air front-end via TCP sockets. All this data transfer occur in the same host, so the socket connects to a localhost server. The problem is that the Flex/Air takes a really long time to read the entire image from the socket. The server sends the image quite fast, but the Flex/Air reads this image in tiny parts. The whole image has about 300MB and the Flex/AIR reads only about 1KB each iteration. So the flex keeps calling the socket data callback, which is causing the application to slowdown.
Is there any synchronous sockets to use with flex, or some kind of socket which can read the entire data all at once? If sockets aren't the best choice, is there any other faster options? My socket class looks like this:

Dec 30, 2009I writing a small action game in actionscript and I'm adding some mulitplayer features. I am currently using xml sockets and a small java socket server I wrote.
But I am now pondering, would my game have connection problems when people try to use ? wouldn't they need to open the port I used in their firewall and configure port forwarding in their routers ?
I did a small test over port 8080 and some remote computers running my swf connection test, they got connected but the connection was lost right away... is that a "cross domain" issue (I didn't learn the subject yet) or should I check the firewall and etc on the remote computers ?
Also, I am pretty early in the process - should I consider switching to RTMP to avoid connectivity issues ? Do commercial sites with multilayer flash action games use sockets for the connection ? Does electroserver/pulse/etc.. use sockets under the hood or RTMP ?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Open Multiple XML Sockets With An Array
Sep 2, 2011I'm currently working on a project where I need to access multiple devices with differing IP addresses and Ports. I've defined "buttons" that will go to specific devices depending on the user input (sorry, hard to explain but I'm sure you'll get it). Everything works like a charm but I'd really like to see if there is a better way to code the following (maybe with an array) but I can't get it to work.
I will have up to 20 different devices so I'd like to streamline the code instead of having a bunch of "if" statements. As you can see, it's all the same just incrementing the TKsocket name.
