iPhone app to Flash over wifi
Does anyone have any experience having an iPhone application talk to a Flash app over Wifi? I am looking for simple projects that shows a string going to and from. I know there is Bonjour, etc. but networking is a big topic that I am not well-versed in (yet).

I don't know much about Flash, but I'm assuming that, like most
sandboxed web content, a Flash widget can't open a listening socket.
So it's going to have to be the iPhone that listens and the Flash code
that connects to it. The problem then is how it discovers the iPhone's
IP address. Bonjour would be the usual answer, but I don't think there
are any Flash APIs for it. Without that, you pretty much have to
resort to kludges like reading the IP address off the iPhone's screen
and typing it into a Flash textfield.
{macnetworkprog would be a more appropriate list for this, btw.}

Re: iPhone app to Flash over wifi
Sorry I didn't know about that other list. Flash can open a socket - the
projector or AIR app - it's going to be local just for simulations and never
on a public web server.
