Yes it’ll work fine, you can even let the log print to the browser if you set the implicit flush right and have no timeout.

I worked for me without cmd.
this is how:
upload to a server ( set the ip and port )
run the php from your browser the browser should start loading but the page should not come in (because of the while loop)
& connect with your flash…

I’m curious why I need a command prompt. My host doesn’t give me a cmd prompt so I’m out of luck. But, since this is PHP, won’t it run when flash requests the PHP? i might be misguided. I found a Perl program that does the same thing but I can’t run that either without a cmd prompt.

The 3D engine doesn’t use quaternions yet, in fact there is room for quite some improvement. Again, it’s on the to do list for after the exams

Yes, I could, and I should. But I currently don’t have a lot of time on my hand (exam weeks… ) Try searching for some tutorials on using sockets in AS3, that should get you started

I haven’t looked at this script in quite some time (actually wrote it a long time before posting it), but I think it’s there to check if the socket is still alive. Would the socket have shut down after $read[0] = $sock, $sock wouldn’t be the same and therefore not be found in the $read array. And this would probably prevent nasty errors in endless loops.

Could you explain the

if(in_array($sock,$read))

line to me? Since

$read[0] = $sock;

is always executed, it seems like the if statement would always be true. Which, of course, means that even if there is not a new connection attempt, the script will try to accept a new connection.

I’m new to this so I’m probably just missing something, any help would be appreciated.
