A large part of the code for our game over at mutantstudio.com is sending the calculations from MAX/MSP into Flash. To do this I have been using a max external called flashserver. This essentially allows for communication between Flash and MAX and vice versa. However, as this is quite an old external, there was only AS2 source code provided, which is no good as our game is fully AS3 based.
I have rewritten the code into AS3, with a simple function that splits the incoming string into an array and places each array item into a textbox. I have also provided an example of sending multiple variables in to Flash using the broadcast message in MAX/MSP. Feel free to download and use my source code in your own projects.

hi
thanks for the code fragment… just so you know what I am trying to do….
I work at edinburgh university and am supervising a digital media project on a spherical display
(www.pufferfishdisplays.com). They would like to use ccv/tuio to talk to maxmsp and flash. I was thinking of trying out your code and flashserver to solve this issue. Have you or anyone else looked at ccv (commmunity core vision) with flashserver?
cheers again
