I am looking for any flash as2/as3 code  
that can [COLOR=#ff0000]**access mac (& win) terminal messages**[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR](delivered by serial ports).  
The message i need to receive via flash …

- look like the following  
“/DATA\_RCVD\_SIGN = 44/ DATA\_RCVD = 1”

-are displayed on my mac’s “terminal”  
(or any other serial port terminal) program  
and change at regular intervals (every minute)

[COLOR=#ff0000] **------------------------------------** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] **IDEALLY …** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]

the code would work like  
ss6.jar (  
[http://itp.nyu.edu/~dbo3/SerialServer/SerialServer.html](http://itp.nyu.edu/~dbo3/SerialServer/SerialServer.html) );

this applet allows to choose

- an active serial port,
- it’s baude rate  
&  
to display incoming messages from this serial port

[COLOR=#ff0000] **------------------------------------** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] **I ALREADY HAD A LOOK AT …** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]

… Netlab toolkit, funnel. Tinkerit, arduino, related flash scripts  
(using xmlsocket, serialServer , externalinterface and related )  
but did not succeed in finding any solution yet.

I tried to read the output provided by ss6.jar  
as well - but did not find a way to access them

[COLOR=#ff0000] **------------------------------------** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] **May you please send me any hint or link ?** [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]

Any help is greatly appreciated!
