flashsocket.io's Introduction

FlashSocket.IO

Flash client for Socket.IO version 1.0 and above. Connects solely through WebSocket and supports binary data and native TLS (through SecureSocket).

Notes for this fork

This fork is based on redannick/FlashSocket.IO (which itself is based on jimib/FlashSocket.IO) and contains several improvements and bugfixes:

support for both polling and websockets
upgrade support (by default connect with polling and upgrade to websocket later)
support for sending/receiving binary data (as ByteArray)
use my fork of AS3WebSocket, with the following improvements:
- use native SecureSocket for TLS (faster, more sucure, reduces swc size by 86%)
- limited support for permessage-deflate compression (accept compressed messages from the server, although the client never compresses itself)
separate engine.io client code
add ERROR event for handling server-side errors
bugfix: propertly add callback to messages for sending ACK
bugfix: properly clean ACK callbacks
bugfix: emit buffered message after dispatching the CONNECT event
bugfix: stop heartbeat timer when socket abruptly closes
bugfix: dispatch DISCONNECT when connecting is manually close()ed
use native JSON
remove CLOSE event (unclear semantics), use DISCONNECT instead
add destroy() method (similar to the js socket.io-client)

Tested with Socket.IO 1.4.

Sample client and server

A sample client and server are provided. To try them:

Install dependencies and start server

cd sample
npm install
npm start

Compile the client, eg with mxmlc:

mxmlc --library-path=bin/Flash-Socket.IO.swc sample/client.as

Open http://localhost:3000/

flashsocket.io's Issues

Animate CC [AIR iOS] Set up

Hello,

I'm trying to set this up to work with a service that has socket support.

Their documentation says to use "var socket = io('https://website.com?token={your client_id}:{your client_secret}')

Will this set up work with your solution? I don't see in this example how to specify what webhook specifically I am listening for.

Any help is appreciated.

Security Error

I set up the SSL.CRT and i host the server on cloud9.io but i get a security error. Any help?
It connects and works from flash but when i test it outside flash as a swf it doesn't work.

version 2

Any plans to update this lib to 2.0 socket io?

License?

Hi, my team would like to use this but we noticed there isn't a license included in the project. Would you mind posting an MIT or other simple open source license to this? Thanks.

I am trying to use this client library with socket.io 2.3.0 and it mostly works fine, but because of the relatively low ping timeout of 5000ms, the client sometimes disconnects during brief periods of network lag/outage.
A quick fix solution is to just increase the timeout to some large number (60000 ms or so), but that has other unfortunate consequences.

The official socket.io-client JS library solves this by implementing automatic reconnection. Is this something that could easily be added to this library? If so, could you give me some pointers on how to modify FlashSocket.IO to support it?

From https://socket.io/docs/:
Unless instructed otherwise a disconnected client will try to reconnect forever, until the server is available again.

Got it connecting but how to request specific calls?

I'm trying to connect to an existing API socket-io websocket offered through an API I'm using. Their docs say in JS to listen like this

// Listen for trip:finished event
socket.on('trip:finished', function(eventJSON) {
console.log('Trip Finished', eventJSON);
});

// Handle error messages
socket.on('error', function(errorMessage) {
console.log('Error', errorMessage);
});

How can I specify I want to list to trip:finished using this solution?

IWebSocketWrapper was not found

Getting the following error despite all files being in the correct folders, etc.

/com/pnwrain/flashsocket/FlashSocket.as, Line 21, Column 62 1045: Interface IWebSocketWrapper was not found.

Doesnt use WebSocket but Polling

I got everything working but when i tries to use transport "websocket" it gets an error:
