Is this thing still on? Well, there’s a new forum if you want to talk about flosc. Thanks to Thijs for setting that up.

Version 0.3.1 released

benchun — Mon, 19 Jul 2004 22:30:15 +0000

With the help of Dr. Toast, I finally got around to figuring out what was going on with flosc and SC3. Apparently I was never padding strings out to 4-byte boundaries, which would corrupt the numeric (or other argument) data. I have no idea how this code ever worked for any of us in the past. I’m glad to have that fixed, because the fix has prompted me to update this web site, notably including the fine flosc tutorial by Eric Socolofsky. One final note, there is an Open Sound Control conference coming up on July 30 in Berkeley and I’ll be talking about flosc and a new OSC-in-XML standard (look for another update soon as I implement it).

Security Update

Flash Player 7 works fine as a standalone application, since the security model is not applied to locally-running content. However, using the test movie command from within the Flash authoring tool probably won’t work correctly. For more details, see thie article by Deneb. Note that you can use /etc/hosts or the equivalent to assign domain names to IP addresses for your local machine.

Player Issues

There appears to be an issue with flosc and the Flash Player 7, likely related to the changes made to the security model. Until this issue is resolved, you should use a version 6 or earlier player.

OS 9 Precompiled

Graham Wakefield has contributed a compiled application version of Version 0.3 for OS 9.

Version 0.3 released

benchun — Tue, 13 May 2003 22:28:05 +0000

Performance improvements due to static creation of a UDP socket for sending OSC and no more printing of debug statements to stdout. Also changed the default IP addresses in the flash movie to be 127.0.0.1, since I assume the simplest configuration is with everything running on localhost. Tested on OS X using the precompiled sendOSC and dumpOSC. No more different archive formats for Mac and Windows… if you’re on Windows, install cygwin.

Update

benchun — Fri, 11 Apr 2003 22:26:55 +0000

Updated the MIDI-to-OSC application that Sean Rooney created, he says there was a bug in the previous version. Also just started exchanging email with Matt Wright about perhaps standardizing the XML representation of OSC, and pulling flosc apart into a standalone Java OSC server and a TCP/XML component. We shall see what comes of this.

Info

benchun — Sun, 09 Mar 2003 22:26:14 +0000

Added a new example application created by Sean Rooney. Added a section for answering FAQs. Made this page look a little nicer.

Version 0.2 released

benchun — Sat, 23 Mar 2002 22:25:18 +0000

Adds support for Flash-to-OSC communication, including a DTD describing how XML-encoded OSC packets should be formed, Flash and server parsing of XML-encoded OSC, and Flash creation of XML-encoded OSC.

Version 0.11 released

benchun — Thu, 07 Mar 2002 22:24:38 +0000

Adds support for SuperCollider-style arrays. Still no bidirectional communication, but all that needs to be done is a minimal XML parser to process the data coming from Flash. The OSC-sending code is in the archive, but not hooked up to anything yet. Next version will have a proper DTD.
