I agree that this is a needed piece to a good development environment, and Nicolas thanks for posting the information that you have so far.
I did a little playing around with it today to see if I could hack my way into what ports that it is using. Thanks to John Grden for spurring on some great ideas about how this might be working. I used a port scanner (TCPView)on my Windows XP machine to see what traffic was going on while using Flash debugging. I also created a Flash socket client to see if that could somehow connect. Here is what I found so far: 1. When starting up the Flash IDE, it makes a TCP connection to a different port every time. This connection is maintained until the program is closed down. So far, from my brief tests, the connections have never been below 2000 or above 4000. 2. When creating a SWF with the Flash IDE and setting it for remote debugging, this generated SWF connects on a different port than the one that Flash is listening on. This port seems to be consistently the same until you restart Flash. Simply turning off Flash doesn't seem to change it. 3. Trying to listen for the event using a flash client to connect to a specific port using XMLSocket doesn't seem to be able to contact the SWF that is in debug mode. So, it looks like the debugging information is being transferred via a TCP connection and not LocalConnection, beyond that, I have no idea yet. Please keep us posted on the findings as they come up. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hyndman Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 3:36 PM To: Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: RE: [osflash] OFD Project I'm very excited about this. It's the one thing I really miss during AS development. /Scott -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicolas Cannasse Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [osflash] OFD Project Hi list, Just to let you know that I added the following page to the Wiki : http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=ofd Nicolas _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
