Hi, I’m trying to send a data structure such as

struct packet  
{  
int a;  
int b;  
int c;  
};  
(where a = 99, b = 2, c = 3 for example)

from a **Visual C++ MFC Application** (using CSocket) to a Flash movie using the following code:

First, I declared a class as follows:

class Packet {  
var a:Number;  
var b:Number;  
var c:Number;

// Constructor function  
function Packet (a:Number, b:Number, c:Number) {  
this.a = a;  
this.b = b;  
this.c = c;  
}  
}

I am able to connect to the VC++ Server succesfully and receive data using the following code:

XMLSocket.prototype.onData = function(msg: Packet)  
{  
trace(msg);  
}

However, instead of receiving the packet i send from the server, Flash MX receives the character “c” followed by 2 lines of whitespace.

Can anyone help? I don’t understand what i’m doing wrong here. Or are there alternate methods for server-client communication??
