I don’t know how many here are familiar with c++ or making it communicate with flash but I know as2 must use xml sockets to communicate with a c++ server. I have made a simple c++ console app that I want to gather data from.
Specifically I want to make a log in system where users can log in with a username and password.
The reason I am using as2 is the client I am making this on uses a version of scaleform that only supports as2.
In a sum up I want my flash application to send data to xml, xml to send that data to c++ if the credentials match it sends the user to another frame.
Currently I am only able to grab data from values directly typed into the c++ console application.
If the info is correct it sends back an ok to the consul if not it sends an error.
I have no current code for sending and receiving data from flash to xml /c++ and back.
that is why I am here I can’t find any documentation anywhere that tells you how to do it.
if you have a link to that I would love to have it. otherwise can you please tell me how I can achieve this or put some sample code in a reply
I dont think I’ve ever seen one out there in c++ (edit: thats a lie), but there are a number of tutorials out there for socket servers in other languages. Here’s one I quickly dug up for Java: http://www.giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=205
I don’t know how different AS2 is from AS3, but I imagine all the changes that were made for security with sockets transcended both languages. The big one is being able to handle the initial handshake with the policy file. … scanning through the tutorial linked above, I’m not seeing any mention of that. I think we had something on adobe.com that covered this. Maybe I can find that one… yeah here’s the one I was thinking of: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html Of course that is very policy-fil- centric vs more about making a server. Anyway, hopefully this can help get you going.
