Hi I'm new to processing, I do have a question that I cannot find anywhere.

Short: I am trying to write a Server/Client app. where the server would send 1 number to the client.  

Server: (code below)
import processing.net.*;
Server myServer;
int val = 1;

void setup() {
 size(200, 200);
 background(0);
 myServer = new Server(this, 5204);
}

void draw() {
 myServer.write(val);
}

On my client:
void setup() {
 size(200, 200);
 background(0);
 myClient = new Client(this, "127.0.0.1", 5204); //Localhost
}

void draw() {
  if (myClient.available() > 0) {
   myClient.read();
   println("-------------------------- I got something  --------------------------" + "                      " + myClient.read() + "       From:    " + myClient.ip() );
   mySecondReceivedNumber = myClient.read();
   println("second number: " + mySecondReceivedNumber + "   myClient.read:   " + myClient.read());
}

The problem is my client is receiving garbage data such as -1, 2, 0.   Can someone tell me why I get this data?
