Closer… So, yea I meant what you said about the desktop app and accepting connections…
I'm doing this on the desktop teacher app to start the socket: on mouseUp accept connections on port 5600 with message "someoneConnected" end mouseUp on someoneConnected theIP read from socket theIP until return with message "newMessage" end someoneConnected on newMessage theIp theMessage put theIP & ":" && theMessage & return after field "text" read from socket theIP until return with message "newMessage" end newMessage On the client iOS app the mergeBonjour is working fine, but I don't have the rresocket script down. Here's what I've tried: (two buttons) First button, on mouseUp rreSocketOpen "10.58.0.56:5600" put the result into fld "result" end mouseUp (and assorted variations of that…) Second button, on mouseUp rreSocketWrite field "message" & return, "10.58.0.56:5600" put the result into fld "result" end mouseUp (and also assorted variations of that…) Am I close? Thank you!
