I'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.

I'm tring to write an instant messager implementation, but i got a problem with the initial socket connection.I need to send a GET request with some parameters to a server and it will reply with a seed number message server IP.
Code: Select allvar socket:Socket = new Socket("appmsg.gadu-gadu.pl", 80);
var response:String = new String;

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.

I'm trying to create a FTP Client in AS3.It works well with almost all my ftp hosts, but I'm not able to login in hosts in wich I have an "@" (at commercial) character inside the username.It seems a character encoding error.[code]but I'd never got a 331 response (Username Accepted) from the FTP server.i tried replacing '@' char with '%40' or '+' without success.
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 trying to create a test taking application for a system that already exists. Currently everything is done in HTML, but they need to convert the app to flash to add tricky components. So for now, everything is in HTML format and everything is created dynamically using mod_perl and a mysql database.The problem really comes in when one of the test questions has an image included with it. The image is stored in the database and with HTML was just inserted into the <HEAD> tag in raw format. The image does not actually reside anywhere on the server , just in the database.

I've created a drawing application intended as an interactive art piece for a gallery. I'd like to have what each visitor draws in one scene to somehow be carried over into the next scene and be displayed on clicking a button. Ideally, the user-drawn images will scale and position themselves accordingly to maximize the screen space. This way, if only three people have visited and drawn something, their three images would enlarge to fill the screen. If 12 people draw something, those 12 images would shrink to fill the space.
I'm thinking I might need to look at creating adaptable/expandable grids, but I'm also just stumped on how to carry user-drawn images over to other scenes. I have very little AS background and need things spelled out for me explicitly...

I'm creating a client-server game. My client is a flex based game, and my server is erlang server. At the beginning, when I test directly my flex client in flash player, I can establish a connection easily to my erlang server through socket connection. And both can exchange data with no problem. The problem rise when I deploy my flex app at Apache http server, and running it using a browser by calling [URL] my flex socket sends message requesting for a crossdomain policy to my erlang server. So I create an xml message that represent a crossdomain policy, and send it back to my flex app as a response for that request.
Yet still I can't establish any permanent socket connection between my flex client and my erlang server. I know this because I add listener on my flex socket that will modify its internal state to CONNECTED, if a connection between client-server has established.
Steve Jobs just posted this article on why Apple rejects Flash... [URL] I agree that javascript and css can be used to replicate some of Flash's animation, though Flash does all sorts of scaling and tweening that is incredibly powerful, and I'm not sure that there's anything comparable in javascript, if there is, I certainly haven't seen it.
However, my question is about the socket. Flash has an incredibly powerful openSocket class that allows you to connect to a server and have the server and the client talk back and forth to one another. As far as I know there is no equivalent class in Javascript. Am I mistaken? Is there some secret mystery Ajax class that replicates the openSocket? If not, then that feature alone makes Flash an invaluable tool.
I don't need to deploy an HTTP server and all the connections are made on port 80, the default HTTP port, which is generally not blocked by firewall.Unfortunatly at the end of my work I realized that the flash socket component has some limitation on using port 80.[URL]As nobody is interested by this report, I now think that this limitation is done on purpose by Adobe. I don't know exactly why, may be to force to use their data service product.
I can understand that. But what I am hangry about is that nowhere in the documentation of the socket component there is an information about this limitation. I guess lot of people lost time trying to reach an unreachable goal ! And most of the time you find the problem at the end of the work because local connection is working ok on port 80.
I have this Socket (not XMLSocket, just Socket) client. I also have a custom PHP script on my server, that listens on port X. My client tries to connect to it.Everything works fine, the security and communication, sync and whatever else. But - the Flash Player (AIR runtime actually) shoots an error when trying to connect, but ONLY when the server is not running... the error is actually handled by try catch (IOError), and even weirder, the line that is specified in the output as the error line is the line where I just CREATE the Socket...?
Output:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2031: Socket Error.
at ---.server::Client()[/DevProjects/Libs/ASLibs/---/server/Client.as:167]
at Function/<anonymous>()[---_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:430][code].....
when I comment out the line where I actually connect using Sock.connect(...) - it does not throw the error, but it obviously does not work... Also, the connect part is also in try catch (IOError) block...
I'm working on a flash MMO with a c# server. I have a simple messaging protocol for the sockets. When a client joins he sends out this:
[Code]...
I'm trying to connect an AIR application to socket.io, it's just not working.
[Code]...
I am trying to communicate using this protocol. It works fine except when the socket has a lot of data to return. Right now I am checking if a packet ends with to determine if I have received all the packages. Problem is that sometimes a package can end with as a line break even if it is not the last package, so I can not use that.
I am using a command queue, because I want to wait for a complete response before sending the next command.
The code with unnecessary stuff removed:
class CustomSocket extends Socket
{
private var _response:String;
private var _commandQueue:Array;
[Code]....
The problem is in the function readResponse. I've googled a lot without finding anything of interest.
Is there a way to know the total amount of bytes/packets a socket will return? Or a way to detect EOF or that a package is the last?
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.

View 3 RepliesI have moved on now to where this is clearly a Flash security thing.I have a flash client that attempts to connect to an open socket on the same host as the one on which it lives.I am able to connect successfully from inside the Flash IDE, and when I run the swf movie locally on my machine, after granting it security clearance in the white list it connects as well. However, when I call the movie via the browser (URL...) it fails to connect.The socket reports that a connection attempt is made but immediately disconnects.I have a crossdomain policy file that looks like this: in the root directory of the host.[code]In the flash movie I have a line that looks like this: System. security. loadPolicyFile (URL...);And I'm thinking maybe that's where the problem is, but the documentation on how to use this method is not entirely clear.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to work out some kinks in a multitouch application I've built. It uses flosc to communicate with a xml socket server that sends the multitouch events. This all works fine and dandy for most of the time.
But if I'm mean and flood it with multitouch events Flash can't keep up with parsing the input, and the socket just keeps getting data that piles up until it either catches up or the whole thing crashes.
I have no problem discarding input once there's too much*, but I'm having trouble devising a clever way to do it.
* The app does 6-10 simultaneous inputs with no problem, things start to get hairy once I have to deal with 20+ which basically means someone is lying on the table ;)
I am trying to connect to a socket server from flex. I read, on adobe's documentation, the client automatically sends a "request-policy-file" xml element to the socket before allowing it to be opened, and should receive a policy file.
