Question

I’ve been trying to get flash to receive TCP messages from a small Serial to IP converter I have. Using some other software I can see the messages coming through so I know that bit it working.
From flash I’ve tried using a Socket and an XML socket but I’m not really sure what I’m doing, I’ve managed to get a connection but it doesn’t seem to output the data, or trigger events when data is received.
Not sure I’m going the right way about this, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The following is the code I used to get this working. Thanks for the help guys.

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.net.Socket;

var RFIDSocket:Socket = new Socket(RFIDSocketIP,RFIDSocketPort);

RFIDSocket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketData);

private function socketData(e:ProgressEvent):void {
        var rawData:String = RFIDSocket.readUTFBytes(RFIDSocket.bytesAvailable);
        var RFIDData:String = RFIDData.substring(1,11);
        if(debugMode){
            MonsterDebugger.trace(this, RFIDData);
        }
        RFIDSocket.flush();
}
