   I’ve also been noticing strange things when testing the files with my current setup. Certain times things will work, and other times they will not. I noticed even adding a private variable to the class would prevent the board from responding. After tinkering for a while I started to get the impression that using core Flash types would break the transmission of commands but I managed to add a private array variable and it worked. I was finally able to get the LED’s to sequence using the time class. I feel your frustration in trying to get something so easy happening in flash now becomes tricky with the board with all the possible issues in the flow of data. I would certainly love to hear what you come up with since this seems to be what’s creating my issues. Sometimes I get packet listeners working and sometimes they don’t.

   I also plan on seeing if I can set up the controller so that it works with my network settings as well as creating a class specifically for configuring the network settings using the

   /network/dhcp 1
   /network/address

   Commands. Resetting my network settings is a pain when you are tryng to access the net for resources while getting this thing behaving:) I’m also thinking of including a reset method using

   /system/reset 1
   /system/active

   I plan on putting some examples of my as3 experiments with the kit so keep me posted. I’m also eagerly waiting on my accessory kit;) Thanks so much for these posts. They have been very helpful in jumping into this!

   Hi Barton!

   strangely today i came up with your blog (as these days I couldn’t believe there’s still no one who has updated FLOSC server so I’m still searching). I’m happy to see that the changes I made where helpful at least for someone. These days I’ve been working on an AS3 OSC library that should help developers to create new Flash-OSC connected apps (I’m using it as underground layer for a AS3 TUIOClient, if wanna know more google for “reactivision”). It’s still work in progress but works pretty well. If you contact me I’ll be happy to share my work with you. Who knows, maybe someone should made a “Flosc 2.0″ site

   PD: Nacho stands for Ignacio (an Spanish male name)

   Here are the changes I made to your OSC port:

   
public function sendOSCPacket(outPacket:OSCPacket) : void {
var xmlOut:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();

   var osc:XMLNode = xmlOut.createElement("OSCPACKET");
   osc.attributes.TIME = 0;
   osc.attributes.PORT = outPacket.port;
   osc.attributes.ADDRESS = outPacket.address;

   var message:XMLNode = xmlOut.createElement("MESSAGE");
   message.attributes.NAME = outPacket.name;

   for (var i:Number=0;i

   I added two methods to reorder the attributes and changing the type to "i" made it work. Any ideas on why?

   Hey Nacho!
Is your work using the Binary Socket classes?

   Code didn’t translate.

   in OSCConnection I added:

   private function setType(arg:XMLNode, str:String):void{
   arg.attributes.TYPE = str;
   }

   private function setValue(arg:XMLNode, str:String):void{
   arg.attributes.VALUE = str;
   }

   and changed:
   public function sendOSCPacket(outPacket:OSCPacket) : void {
   var xmlOut:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();

   var osc:XMLNode = xmlOut.createElement(”OSCPACKET”);
   osc.attributes.TIME = 0;
   osc.attributes.PORT = outPacket.port;
   osc.attributes.ADDRESS = outPacket.address;

   var message:XMLNode = xmlOut.createElement(”MESSAGE”);
   message.attributes.NAME = outPacket.name;

   for (var i:Number=0;i

   I wish you could post code in the comments and have it work normally;) Sorry for the mutiple messages. Check out my edits here:

   Hi!

   Donovan, no, I’m not using binary sockets (I thought for a little about doing it but as XML with EAX4 seems so powerful in AS3 and is much easer to read I discarded it, as a new server should also be done xD)

   I rewrote(and still rewriting) the OSC Classes I sent to Adam Robertson to be more efficient and easer to use (for example there’s a new class called OSCMessage so an OSCPacket stores and Array of messages and Arguments are part of a Message and not part of a packet, also the attribute “name” from OSCPacket is conceptually wrong as a every Message has it’s own “name” and a packet can contains more than one message if it’s an OSC bundle).

   I’ve created a “google poject” account to upload source, you can fnf it at http://code.google.com/p/flosc/

   Thanks for the input Nacho and Donovan. I think that in an effort to make sure that everyone has access to the latest changes and code that I’ve been working on, I’ll be setting up a Subversion repository. That way, I can then work with you guys to get your code integrated in a more organized fashion and allow for the creation of different branches and such.
