Processing + Flash
Nov 13th, 2006, 2:07pm  
Hi,
I'm totally new to Processing but have been working in flash for a couple of years. I came to processing because I just recenttly found a couple of nice features that I would like to use.

So my first question here is if it's possible to connect Processing and Flash and to excange data between them?

Cheers
Magnus

Three routes are available in Flash as raw as it stands.

1: ping msgs off of the browser using javascript

2: use xml server technology and the proXML library

3: use loadVars and find a way for Processing to pick that up

But I like the sound of this one best:

Flash Open Sound Control

OSC is a very good method of communicating between applications. Processing already has an OSC library that you can use to send and receive msgs. The Flosc site also links to a tutorial.

If you're going to get any results fast, I would bet on OSC.

Let us know how you get on.

is it possible to do that within a browser window? An swf and an applet running in the same html, and communicating between each other?

Yes,
I think it's possible here is an example: http://incubator.quasimondo.com/processing/flash_processing_communication_1.php

I don't know if it's possible to make it faster tough. I wanted it for using the tilt sensor that's built in to my macbook and there shouldn't that example realy work but it worked great with flosc.

thanks magnus. it does seem a little slow, although it's not clear if it's the delay to render the blur...
