Hello,
I'm interested in learning more about creating Flash frontends for a few PD patches of mine and hosting them on the web.
I've installed the flashserver external; however, I only have a rudimentary working knowledge of Flash and I'm in need of some advice on where to tread next.
A few questions:
- Is it neccessary to learn Actionscript in order to
create interaction between PD and Flash, or will just a few rote lines of memorized code suffice? At the moment, all I want to do is build some sliders and have PD recieve the numerical data.
- I'm not hosting any webspace on a local box, though
I do have telnet access. Will it be possible to boot my patch through my telnet-accessed comand line? If not, is there any way of pulling this off short of building my own webserver?
- Has anyone tried to stream audio data back through
Flash? Is this feasible? If not, what's the most widely-accessible way of sharing the audio data? Icecast?
Any further tips and pointers on this task would be appreciated. Once I've successfully pulled this off, I'd like to write a simple tutorial for pure-data.org on how it was done.
Thanks! Marcus.
