Ok, thanks again. What I mean is that there will be shapes in a flash clips, already made via either actionscript or aflax, but their positions will change in real time based on coordinates coming from an external real time process. The idea is actually to be able to use flash animations synced up to real time events coming from a C++ or python app that embeds the csound audio engine, running on the same local machine as the flash process. The purpose is to try to allow one to use flash for visuals instead of openGL as I know a lot of flash animators who don't know openGL. I imagined maybe what could happen is that a browser shows a flash clip, the flash clip somehow makes asynchronous requests to find the current position for the shapes, and the requests will in prototype go to a light weight server that makes a socket connection to my C++ app ( that in turn embeds csound and traps into the csound engine for the real time data ). Eventually I would like to cut out the server and figure out the fastest way to get data from the C++ app to flash, but in the meantime, short ajax requests that are only asking for x,y coordinates seem like they would be pretty quick. Any further pointers appreciated. Iain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
