How to pass variable from as file to fla AS3?

[confusedprogramming]

I am working on a project where I need to pass information from VOCE - Processing to actionscript.

I have the class made and processing is communicating fine. The only issue is how do I reference the test = data.data in my fla??

here is my code:

package{

          import flash.display.Sprite;

          import flash.events.Event;

          import flash.events.DataEvent;

          import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;

          import flash.net.XMLSocket;

          public class serverCom extends Sprite {

                    public var serialServer:XMLSocket;

                    private static var VoceInput:String;

                    public function serverCom() {

                              init();

                    }

                    public function init():void {

                              serialServer=new XMLSocket  ;

                              serialServer.connect("127.0.0.1",9001);

                              serialServer.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA,onReceiveData);

                              serialServer.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,onServer);

                              serialServer.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE,onServer);

                              serialServer.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onServer);

                    }

//                    // --== EVENTS ==-- \\

                    public function onServer(event:Event):void {

                              //trace(event);

                    }

                    public function onReceiveData(dataEvent:DataEvent):void {

                              var Data:DataEvent=dataEvent;

                              //trace(Data);

                              VoceInput = Data.data;

                              //trace(test);

                              }

                              //var test=Data.data;

                              //this.dispatchEvent( data );

                    }

          }

what's voce?

and, what's dataEvent.data returning?

[confusedprogramming]

voce isn't the issue it's just a processing app that we are referencing through a net connection. (that works)

dataevent.data is returning - DataEvent type="data" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 data="train"

[kglad]

no, that's that stringified dataevent.  the data should be just "train".
