Please can i have a good working example of AS3 XMLSocket class, on this page. which i can use.

OR

a solution to:

I am having an error while compiling.

TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
at KPASA_Client1_fla::MainTimeline/connectHandler()

the code i m using is as follows:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.XMLSocket;

public class XMLSocketExample extends Sprite {
private var hostName:String = "localhost";
private var port:uint = 8888;
private var socket:XMLSocket;

public function XMLSocketExample() {
socket = new XMLSocket();
configureListeners(socket);
socket.connect(hostName, port);
}

public function send(data:Object):void {
socket.send(data);
}

private function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closeHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, connectHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, dataHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
}

private function closeHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("closeHandler: " + event);
}

private function connectHandler(event:Event) {
//trace("connectHandler: " + event);
}

private function dataHandler(event:DataEvent):void {
trace("dataHandler: " + event);
}

private function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
}

private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
trace("progressHandler loaded:" + event.bytesLoaded + " total: " + event.bytesTotal);
}

private function securityErrorHandler(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
trace("securityErrorHandler: " + event);
}
}
}

Apparently in the last comment the correct character was discarded. Use this line to get it working:

printOut.println(str + (char)0);

This line ...
printOut.println(str + "0000"); // Sent to Socket

needs to be changed to this line to get communication from the Java code to the AS to work.
printOut.println(str + "\0"); // Sent to Socket

Hi!
Your code works in one direction only. I can send message from as to java, but not from java to as.. could u help me?

regarding http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000318.html

The Java sample code here seemed to have a lot (about 5) problems with it, so I spent the better part of my day fixing it. It now works great, and easier to understand for a novice. I have pasted it beolw:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

class SimpleServer
{
private static SimpleServer server;
ServerSocket socket;
Socket incoming;
BufferedReader readerIn;
PrintStream printOut;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
int port = 9001;

try
{
port = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e)
{
// Catch exception and keep going.
}

server = new SimpleServer(port);
}

private SimpleServer(int port)
{
System.out.println(">> Starting SimpleServer2"); // Sent to console
try
{
socket = new ServerSocket(port);
incoming = socket.accept(); // Waits here until connection is established
readerIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(incoming.getInputStream()));
printOut = new PrintStream(incoming.getOutputStream());
out("Enter EXIT to exit."); // Sent to Socket AND console
boolean done = false;
while (!done)
{
String str = readerIn.readLine();
if (str == null)
{
done = true;
}
else
{
str = str.trim();
System.out.println("input: [" + str + "]\r"); // Sent to console
out("Echoing Back: " + str); // Sent to Socket AND console
if(str.trim().equals("EXIT"))
{
done = true;
}
}
}
incoming.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("End Exception: " + e); // Sent to console
}
}

private void out(String str)
{
printOut.println(str + "\u0000"); // Sent to Socket
System.out.println("output: [" + str + "]"); // Sent to console
}
}

You may also want to mention to people that if they don't have a Java SDK installed, they can compile their .java file online at http://www.innovation.ch/java/java_compile.htm

If you are interested, I have also pasted below the AS2 code I used to make the corresponding flash app.

createSocket ();

function createSocket () {

// Set up the GUI
_root.createTextField("inputlabel",4,20,20,50,20);
inputlabel.text = "Input:";
_root.createTextField("outputlabel",5,20,50,50,20);
outputlabel.text = "Output:";
_root.createTextField("tracelabel",6,20,80,50,20);
tracelabel.text = "Tracer:";
_root.createTextField("inputer", 3,70,20,200,20);
_root.createTextField("outputer",2,70,50,200,20);
_root.createTextField("tracer", 7,100,80,400,300);
outputer.type = "input";
outputer.border = true;
inputer.border = true;
tracer.border = true;

// Set Up the Comms
serialServer = new XMLSocket ();
//trace ("made it" + serialServer);
tracer.text = tracer.text + "made it" + serialServer + newline;
//127.0.0.1 is the same as "localhost" ie an alias to your local machine
//it is concievable to that you would want to connect from another machine and you would change this
serialServer.connect ("127.0.0.1", 9001);
serialServer.onConnect = function (success) {
//trace ("connected " + success);
tracer.text = tracer.text + "connected " + success + newline;
serialServer.send ("HOWDY FROM FLASH " + new Date().toString() + newline);
};
serialServer.onClose = function () {
//trace ("closed");
tracer.text = tracer.text + "closed" + newline;
};
serialServer.onData = function (data) {
//trace ("incoming: " + data);
//tracer.text = tracer.text + "[0]=" + data.charCodeAt(0) + newline;
//tracer.text = tracer.text + "[1]=" + data.charCodeAt(1) + newline;
if (data.charCodeAt(0) == 13 && data.charCodeAt(1) == 10) {
data = data.slice( 2, data.length+1 );
}
tracer.text = tracer.text + "incoming: " + data + newline;
inputer.text = inputer.text + data;
};
/*
outputer.onChanged = function () {
serialServer.send (outputer.text + newline);
//trace ("output: " + outputer.text);
tracer.text = tracer.text + "output: " + outputer.text + newline;
outputer.text = "";
};
*/
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
//trace("For the last key typed, Key code is: " + Key.getCode() + ",ASCII value is: " + Key.getAscii() + newline);
//tracer.text = tracer.text + "For the last key typed, Key code is: " + Key.getCode() + ",ASCII value is: " + Key.getAscii() + newline;
if (Key.getCode()==13) {
serialServer.send (outputer.text + newline);
//trace ("output: " + outputer.text);
tracer.text = tracer.text + "output: " + outputer.text + newline;
outputer.text = "";
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

}

I hope you find that useful - if so, it would be nice if you coule let me know.

Thanks
