FYI – the FWiidom as3 code doesn’t work with integer data type.

modified OSCConnection.as line 113 to include:

if (type==”i” ) {
data.push(Number(child.attributes.VALUE));
}

Thank you thank you thank you for this! I have been banging my head against a wall for a couple weeks trying to get max/msp to talk to flash through flosc and all the tools, tutorials, examples I found were for as2 and I couldn’t get as3 to see & process the osc packets. I wrote a test file in as3 using your OSC classes and it works! cheers

I can’t make the java gateway work on Windows Vista. Typing java Gateway 7000 3000 in the DOS prompt gives me an error :

D:\LIVE\Woui\FLOSC\flosc-0.3.1\flosc-0.3.1>java Gateway 7000 3000

I have tested it on Windows XP and it works !
Would you have any idea on how to make this work on Vista ?
thanks for any suggestion.

I found a bug in the Send OSC Packet. FLOSC expects the arguments to be in this order: TYPE then VALUE – so you have to replace your code with this:

for (var i:Number=0; i

Hey Andrei,

hello,

I’m afraid I’ve found a bug in your code. The AS3 reference (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/) says that XMLSocket.connect() returns void, but, on line 40 of OSCConnection.as, you evaluate the value returned by connect(). If I’ve understood well, you should catch the errors thrown by connect(), but not evaluate its result.

I’ve found this problem because I was always getting an ON_CONNECT_ERROR event, despite the connect being properly established. Ignoring this error worked for me, but I don’t think this is the best procedure.

Anyway, thanks for your code. And I’m also surprised that Flash CS3 generates no error or warning for line 40.

best regards,
andrei

I’ve been one of the peeps using your AS3 classes with the Make Controller. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been writing a series of articles that use those classes – so thank you for coding them up. I have also found a bug when using them with the Make Controller. Check out http://phy5ics.com/blog/2007/07/26/getting-started-with-as3-and-the-make-controller-part-2-let-the-hacking-begin/ for details and let me know if there is anything I can contribute.

–if (type==”i”){….}
