Returning Variables from Renderer(Flash) node

vvvv beta question
1

Hello,
I’m trying to test the use of a Renderer(Flash) node to output a user interface for my VVVV patch. I’m using Flash Professional CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.0 to write my .swf file. Playing back the file in VVVV works perfectly. Interaction with the UI also works perfectly in the render window. However, I can’t seem to get the render node to return any of the variables or values from the .swf file through it’s return value pin.

I have the same problem with example patches I have found such as the one from the documentation found here tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1007&highlight=flash

This leads me to suspect the problem is in my drivers or setting somewhere in my flash player or activeX. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? or found a solution?

\girlpower\Tester_Flash.v4p

hi,

the basics of communicate with as3 found here: Networking and communication

and Using the external API seems useful.

joreg>
if external API can get/set variable from C# project, is it apply to Flash Renderer node?
i will upload sample if success :)

Solved the issue. Re-install of vvvv in a different directory along with using AS2.0 is giving me the results I needed. Many thanks for the help mino and joreg, from what I’ve seen the support community here is fantastic, even for silly problems like mine.
