Ok, here your suggestion again:
private function handleTcpData(event:Event):void {
if(_socket.bytesAvailable) { // USE IF, NOT WHILE!
try{ // CATCH THE EXCEPTION
var str:String = _socket.readUTF();
updateGUI(str);
}catch(e:Error){}
}
}
The problem is that you read an UTF string with prefixed length just once.
But since it's TCP sockets, data can arrive in different amounts.
And in fact I see that sometimes not just one,
but several UTF strings with prefix will arrive.
But your if-code will process just the 1st one.
And another problem with that code:
if a half of a string arrives, then it will throw an EOFError,
then go into the empty catch branch and just lose that data.
