Cedric God Member Offline Posts: 1838	Re: connect processing and flash Reply #3 - May 13^th, 2010, 11:37pm if you dont want to upload it but run it in a local network, you can try to use osc to communicate. There is a osc library for processing. There should be one for flash as well i guess. i have seen some other people connecting, maxmsp/processing or blender/processing. http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/oscP5/

Cedric God Member Offline Posts: 1838	Re: connect processing and flash Reply #8 - May 14^th, 2010, 12:34am there are alot of example codes in the library archive on how to use osc and the library to communicate between different sketches. i never tested it with flash, but seems like there are different ways to use it there too. check out this post http://www.benchun.net/flosc/

Alright, there is what you are probably looking for. I found a tutorial on how to connect processing with flash. its in german though, These guys used flosc to do so. so my guess was not that bad.

edit:
here is another post about the same question, they used osc as well.

I thought it will be something like Ardunio to Processing, not put the SWF file inside processing

use flosc can fix my problem!!!!
but most of the examples are using AS1 or AS2, below is my AS3, hope it can help you guys:

import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//from here is connected to flosc
var mySocket:XMLSocket;
//mySocket.allowDomain("*");

// *** create a new socket and attempts to connect to the server
function connect() {
mySocket = new XMLSocket();
mySocket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, handleConnect);
mySocket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, handleClose);
mySocket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, handleIncoming);
mySocket.connect("172.21.129.18",3000);
}

function handleConnect(e:Event):void {
trace("XML Socket connected!");
gotoAndStop(2);

}

function handleClose(e:Event):void {
trace("XML Socket closed!");

}

function handleIncoming(e:DataEvent):void {
trace("Incoming:",e.data);
a.writeDigitalPin(6, Arduino.HIGH);

var XMLData:XMLList=new XMLList(e.data);
//XMLData.MESSAGE.(@NAME=="thomas"));

trace_txt.text=e.data;

//trace(XMLData.MESSAGE.(@NAME=="thomas"));
}

// *** build and send XML-encoded OSC
//
//THIS IS ANOTHER PLACE TO DO SOMETHING COOL

press_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mUp);

function mUp(e:MouseEvent):void {
sendOSC("Thomas", "Genius", "172.21.129.18", 2000);
}

function sendOSC(name:String, arg:String, destAddr:String, destPort:int):void {
var xmlOut:XML =
<OSCPACKET Address="" PORT="" TIME="0">
<MESSAGE NAME="">
<ARGUMENT TYPE="s" VALUE="" />
</MESSAGE>
</OSCPACKET>;

xmlOut.@ADDRESS=destAddr;
xmlOut.@PORT=destPort;
xmlOut.MESSAGE.@NAME=name;
xmlOut.MESSAGE.ARGUMENT.@VALUE=arg;
//trace("xmlout:",xmlOut);

if (mySocket&&mySocket.connected) {
mySocket.send(xmlOut.toString());

}
}

connect();
