My First Chumby Widget

So here is my first Chumby Widget:

This is some pretty simple Actionscript. Now, to try to use XML sockets, this Actionscript appears to work:

var xmlSocket:XMLSocket=new XMLSocket();

xmlSocket.onConnect=function() {

xmlSocket.send(new XML("Hello, World!"));

}

xmlSocket.onXML=function(myXML) {

trace(myXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue);

xmlSocket.close();

}

xmlSocket.connect("localhost",6666);

And on the python side:

>>> from socket import *

>>> s=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)

>>> s.bind(('localhost',6666))

>>> s.listen(1)

>>> conn,addr=s.accept()

>>> conn.recv(1024)

'Hello, World!\x00'

Now I just need to have the Chumby widget XML socket messages control Firmata transmissions to contol the Arduino.

Followup: Well, the Actionscript and Python worked fine on my laptop, but a Chumby Widget needs a proper "crossdomain.xml" served out for the pair to work...see the next post!
