UDP connections

Jun 3, 2011 8:22 AM

Hi all, I'm new to flash (as in, have never developed anything in it) and was wondering if it is possible to create something that can make a UDP connection back to a given IP address. It would be to send a small amount of data (less than 100 bytes) back to a service listening on that IP. No data to be downloaded back to the client.

 

No need for any on-screen display etc, just a single UDP packet to be sent. Not that bothered if the packet doesn't arrive so no need for any handshakes or retries etc.

 

Is this sort of thing possible? If so, what tools do I need to get in order to build this for myself (I'm familiar with coding in JavaScript and languages like Perl, so I would want to try and do this for myself rather than have anyone do it for me)

 

Thanks for any advice you may be able to give.

    I have experimented with a perl interface (listener) and have successfully

    exchanged packets with flash. My problem is getting flash to accept

    packets from the server.

     

    Thanks

    HI D.J.

     

    Did you have any luck on receiving the packets with Flash correctly?

     

     

    thanks!
