Flash - Adobe Cirrus: Deliver A Chunk Of Data To A Single Peer With Known Id?
Jun 17, 2011
Adobe Cirrus offers a number of options for transferring data from peer to peer: Directed Routing, Object Replication and Multicasting to name a few.I just want to send the data to one specific peer, its fine for other peers to 'see' it in transit.
My experiments with Directed Routing (the obvious answer) have not gone well. all the sendto... methods fail, while NetGroup.post works fine on the same netgroup. I am concerned about using direct connections because of reliability.
Has anyone successfully implemented a one to one messaging strategy (not one to many), which can still message between non-connected peers - (Directed Routing) or solved this problem successfully?
I am considering various workarounds, but I am quite perplexed that these NetGroup methods: sendToNearest, sendToNeighbour & sendToAllNeighbours just seem to fail, for no apparent reason.

Now I am using Adobe Cirrus in my Flex app, but I think that Flex is too complicated for such simple application.

I am developing flash p2p chat. It works fine on my friends' computers (they can chat each other), but not on mine. The problem is that I have local network at home, and I think that Flash Player tries to make p2p requests to peers inside my local network.Can I check if user have local network in AS3 and up the level of network to the WWW?

I've heard a couple of people say only 50% succeed, but that sounds suspiciously low and the people saying that are probably all repeating the same rumor. My own very limited tests with various friends & colleagues work 100% of the time, as long as they have Flash Player 10, but that's obviously not right either.
Do you have some data from a largish test or deployment of home/corporate users?

One workaround for this seems to be very briefly using a server to authenticate and setup a peer to peer connection, such as Adobe Cirrus. Another workaround is simply not using peer-to-peer, and instead setting up a dedicated server using Java or PHP to communicate between users.
It seems to me, that if you can use Java on a server to communicate between two users, shouldn't you be able to use Java in your program to directly handle peer-to-peer communications, no server needed?
And, if it's at least theoretically possible, would someone mind pointing me to a good tutorial on integrating Flash and Java, and using Java to do peer-to-peer? The tutorials and examples I've managed to find so far on both subjects haven't been very illuminating.

I am trying to implement the actionscript program described at this address. http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_a_P2P_file_sharing_application-16539.html. It lets two flash client connect to the cirrus service and share a file using the flash peer to peer facilities.
The problem is that I would like to display a progress bar to the downloading client for long files. There does not seem to be any progress-type event been triggered by data sent by NetStream.Send. This particular function appears to have been created by adobe to send tiny update and meta-data code.
Is there a way to display a progress bar of downloaded data when using a netstream object?
The alternative would be to break the data into small packets and send them individually; then increment the progress bar as they are received by the client. Unfortunately this creates a lot of overhead for the simple problem of displaying a progress bar.

I have a NetGroup established using Adobe Cirrus. All clients can connect fine and see each other, since I receive NetGroup.Neighbor. Connect and NetGroup.MulticastStream.PublishNotify events when a new stream is being published.However, if a user subscribes to a published stream, the publisher does not receive a notification (no NetStatusEvent and no callback to the onPeerConnect method). The subscriber receives the stream without problems, though.All other questions about the non working onPeerConnect method were related to NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS, but in my case, I am using a NetGroup.
What is wrong here? Only the relevant parts, a few things have been stripped (e.g. connect the netGroup only when the NetConnection has been established etc.)
var groupSpecifier:GroupSpecifier = new GroupSpecifier("group");
groupSpecifier.multicastEnabled = true;
groupSpecifier.postingEnabled = true;[code].....

I'm trying to come up with the best way to do some random match making in a simple game.While experimenting with netStreams using Adobe Cirrus, I can easily set up direct connections, send data, text, video, sound all using Cirrus which is great. I find it pretty easy to get a simple P2P connection going, and it works just like i need it to.But I really want to implement a random matchmaking feature using ONLY cirrus so everything is though p2p...How would I go about grabbing a random peer in the same group...that's not in a direct connection with someone else already?
-I was thinking maybe I could use object replication...and when someone connects to the GroupSpecifier, I could then push another object into this shared array that has the local peerID and their status. then i could just alter the array when theyre in a game. But then im worried there is no guarantee that their entry will get removed if the person just closes the web window.
-I also thought about just doing a "post" to the group containing the nearID, and other peers can get the post...and those that aren't in a game will try and direct connect back. Then that side will then connect to them. so then theyll both be in direct connections with each other. But then i feel like if potentially 100s of people that are "available"...get the post...then they all try and connect to one person, then it could cause problems.
-Also, I thought about just doing sendToNearest...but wouldnt that not be the best way to match people...because you can only have so many neighbors i think... if there were 1000 people in the group. youll only be able to connect to a few peers actually considered your neighbor right? Then basically you could end up just matching up with the same 5-10 people or however are technically considered a neighbor.

When running a peer-assisted multicast video event, what determines when a peer might switch to another peer?What I'm asking is that a peer joins the group, is handed a few peers that may be decent cadidates to pull the video stream from.They start pulling that stream from peer1 and if they can't connect (or I assume if the connection is terrible) they will try the next peer.What if I want the peer to give up (and try another peer) if the quality of the stream coming from a peer is not terrible but is not great either.Is that configurable?

we're having a strange problem on a project here. When we use NetConnection in combination with a NetGroup to initiate communication between two local AIR applications on Windows XP, they always both connect to the NetGroup succesfully and detect each other as neighbors. However, on Windows 7 both applications connect succesfully to the NetConnection and NetGroup both don't detect each other as neighbors.To reproduce this problem, here are two AIR applications:[code]
These applications can connect and send message to each other without a problem on Windows XP. On Windows 7 however, they cannot.Does anyone know why this wouldn't work on Windows 7 and what steps can be taken to make it work? It's critical to our project that this works.In some cases, the applications take quite a long time to detect each other as neighbors (up to 15 seconds in some cases), in other cases they detect each other immediately. Does anyone know what could cause this delay?

I dont want to connect to a server over socket. I would like to know if it is possible to connect from one AIR app on machine A to connect to another AIR app on machine B via sockets without cirrus. I'm not asking for someone else to do my work, I couldnt find any documentation or possibility of the above thing. My conclusion now is that it is not possible, but I would just like it to be verified by other people(experts).

i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?
code:
[Bindable]
private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection();
private function getList(e:Event):void{
var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

I've been working with the flash data grid component, and I want to update just one cell in the data grid without updating the entire dataset. I haven't found anyway to do this and the object inheritance makes it really difficult to track down properties of specific child elements. Here's a snippet i use to get data from a specific data cell:
var cellData:String = _currentPlaylistDataGrid.columns[0].itemToLabel(_currentPlaylistDataGrid.getItemAt(_c urrentSlideID));
What's the best way to do this? It's NOT on a click event or interactive event.

I'm working on a virtual piano keyboard that processes imported mp3 sound samples. I've come to a solution with this question, but as I run this test code below, the sound loops its last data chunk of each sound source forever, and obviously, I want it to stop at the end of the extracted sound data. The same happens with any extracted sample data, I don't even have to mix it. I added a dynamically drawn graphic waveform so you can visually check what happens. This is my first time using the ByteArray class, so I don't know how to solve this issue.

Is it possible, via Adobe Air, to save multiple types of data in a single file? For example, an application would allow the user to load in external images, position them on stage and label them. This data would be then be stored in a ByteArray (I guess) using BitmapData for the images and probably XML for the metadata.
I would then like to write this to a single file, with a bespoke file extension that could be associated with said Air app.

fileRef.browse(ourTypes);
and use file content by using fileRef.data.
var mainXml:XML;
mainXml=new XML(fileRef.data);
User must have an opportunity to add some data in this file (not only read). How can I save new data in the same file?

Does anyone know if adobe flash player cache data is available to other users on a system? For example: A user logs onto Windows XP, then uses my adobe flex application... and in the process of doing so downloads the signed flex lib... He then decides to mow the lawn and log off. At about 3pm the same day, his Mum can't hear the TV over the sound of the mower, so she decides to log in using a different XP user account. She proceeds to use the very same flex application. Does she also need to download the flex lib again, or would the data already be cached in the flash player?
