Keep in mind that DatagramSocketDataEvent ( UDP socket traffic ) isn’t supported in an Adobe Flex project. It’s only supported in an Adobe Air 2.0+ project. Also there is currently not support for UDP in any of the Adobe Air mobile projects.

I’ll be trying to figure out a way around some of these issues as well as moving this project over to github.

Hello. I have some problems using your tool.
1. Can’t install SimTouch.air (Air 2.0 required) here on pagel. I have latest air 2 beta but since it not released yet it impossible to install (read on adobe forum).
2. I get last version from here http://code.google.com/p/simtouch/downloads/list. I run socket server and air application and my aplication connected to this server. But what next? What events should I listen. Currentli I listen for TouchEvent but have no result.
Thanks.

Yes I didn’t have the latest version of adobe AIR sdk. I overlayed the latest version of the sdk. Now I am not getting the DatagramSocketDataEvent compile time error.

Thanks & Regards

Sasi.

Sounds like you might not be using Adobe Air 2.0. Did you lay the new Air 2 sdk over an existing sdk?

Or it’s possible that Adobe may have made some changes in their API going from beta to beta 2.

If you happen to make changes to the open source project let me know and we’ll correct it in a release build.

Thanks,
Matt

I get the error

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Canvas.

when compiling from Flash (like you appear to be doing in your screencast). I think Canvas is a Flex component. Can I not instantiate a new SimConnection from Flash alone?

@ebagg,

Thanks for pointing this out. The issue is due to the SimConnect class being passed a null stage object. I’ll add some sort of test for this. The ultimate solution is to instantiate the SimConnect class on the ApplicatonCompleteEvent and not the CreationCompleteEvent.

I’m guessing a lot of people will hit this issue so I’ll make a note of it in the actual blog post.

Thanks again!
