trying to play with MPE in Eclipse and im running into an issue where the frameEvent function is never run. Interestingly enough if I comment out the function I receive an error saying that it needs to exist. Sort of confused how the program knows the function is there but is not running it. I'm sure I'm just missing something as I have been staring at it for far too long.
Code:

import processing.core.PApplet;
import mpe.client.*;

public class MPEtest extends PApplet {
	Stripe[] stripes = new Stripe[50];
	UDPClient client;
	boolean start = false;
	
	final int ID = 0;
	
	public void setup() {
		client = new UDPClient(sketchPath("mpe" + ID + ".ini"), this);
		size(client.getLWidth(), client.getLHeight());
		client.start();
		noLoop();
		for(int i = 0; i < stripes.length; i++) {
			stripes[i] = new Stripe(this, client);
		}
	}
	
	public void frameEvent(UDPClient c) {
		start = true;
		println("its happening");
		c.broadcast("this is running");
		redraw();
	}

	public void draw() {
		println("what up");
		client.broadcast("lets gooooooooooooo");
		if(start) {
			client.placeScreen();
			background(100);
			for(int i= 0; i < stripes.length; i++) {
				stripes[i].move();
				stripes[i].display();
			}
			client.done();
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		PApplet.main(new String[] { "--location=100,100", "MPEtest" });
	}
}
