I had trouble working out how to manage the connection from the Rev
side. If you want Rev to push data to the Flash element at arbitrary
times, you need to keep the connection open. But if you also want to
accept data from the Flash element, doesn't the Flash script need to
reset the connection prior to sending data otherwise Rev doesn't know
when to read from the socket. In the example above, Rev closes the
socket each time after sending the data, forcing the Flash component
to reconnect. Is there a cleaner approach to this?
I'm trying to build something like this, but I run into some issues I
don't understand.
The setup:
A Rev app opening a socket connection 1987, starts listening at it.
A flash movie displayed within a Rev window by revBrowser.
Flash movie connects to the socket.
First strange thing:
when I open socket 1987 in Rev, and then have the Flash app connect
to it, a second socket is opened. From Terminal lsof -i -P:
Flash\x20 5051 username 13u IPv4 0x03d6594c 0t0 TCP *:1987
(LISTEN)
Flash\x20 5051 username 22u IPv4 0x03d64200 0t0 TCP
localhost:51733->localhost:1987 (ESTABLISHED)
Flash\x20 5051 username 23u IPv4 0x03d71740 0t0 TCP
localhost:1987->localhost:51733 (ESTABLISHED)
Rev also lists 51733 in opensockets. Why is that? Is that normal?
Second issue:
Then I start sending from Flash to Rev by clicking a button in Flash
movie. First time everything is OK: message is received by Rev. Then
I try to send a second time, but nothing is received by Rev. How can
that be?
Third issue:
when clicking on a Flash button to write to a socket, I need to click
outside the browser image before I can click that button again.
Kind regards,
Henk
