The receive function is dying with an “unterminated string literal” on FF3 if there is any input to the socket which contains a ‘ charachter, which, in my case, everything does! So it is unusable because of that. Is there some way to make it work with strings that have javascript special characters?

Is there an example with a complete html Page to see how it’s working??

Doesn’t work with flash version 10.1.85.3. TCP connection is established to specified host/port, then “” string is sent, and after waits 2 seconds, tcp disconnects. No user data transmitter or received.

Seems that Symantec is now picking up socket_bridge.swf and reporting it as Downloader.Swif.C Trojan. I’ve submitted a false positive report, so hopefully it’s fixed soon, but in the mean time just a heads up.

Hmm, that’s a weird one I’ve not seen before. I’m really not that hot with Flash debugging I’m afraid!

I know Ionel who commented above has his own version of the socketBridge app with some revamped code. Basically the same functionality but with a nicer JS interface, might be worth a try if you can’t track down the bug.

Thanks! Moving it off the screen with an absolute position did the trick.

You know, I’ve been testing this a lot today and sometimes I get the following error for no apparent reason:

Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
at Boot_3D39A$/__trace()
at MethodInfo-65()
at SocketBridge$/connect()
at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_callIn()
at ()

If you just reload the page, no code changes, it works fine the second time around. Firebug reports the following in these cases:

uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].

@Kaiser Soze

A few options maybe, could try adding CSS display:none; div after the SWF has loaded with SWFObject ? Otherwise you could put it in a div which is absolutely positioned with top and left values of -100000px.

Sure I have had this working but can’t find the exact code I used sorry.

This is a great tool. I only have one issue: how would you hide it on the page if you don’t care to display the console output? I tried several ways to do this (putting the embedded object inside a hidden div, setting the object size to 0×0 or 1×1, etc) but none worked. The swf crashes if I set the size too small, and it doesn’t get loaded if I wrap it around an invisible div.

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!

[...] Obviously JavaScript can’t do it directly, but with Adobe Flash and something like socketBridge (or this improved version) you could control a socket with mostly JavaScript. The only problem [...]
