This is my first attempt at getting processing to talk to flash and it works. It uses Actionscript 3.0 and grabs an XML stream from a server you setup in processing. This just handles two variables being passed to flash. I have them traced and you can see them in the output window. I made the values increase so that you are constantly receiving different values.
import processing.net.*;
int port = 9001;
Server myServer;
//Variables for Sending
byte zero = 0;
int total = 299;
int total2 = 200;
void setup() {
size (200, 200);
myServer = new Server(this,port);
}
void draw () {
total += 1;
total2 +=2;
myServer.write(total+","+total2);
myServer.write(zero);
}Flash Actionscript 3
