There was a little error in this tutorial due to a refactoring in the last release:
TouchEvent should be TuioTouchEvent.

To use UDP you have to export your project as at least Air 2.0

I actually got the flex thing working apparently by linking to frameworks.swc, so atleast that works, but I get another error after that:

\org\tuio\connectors\udp\OSCDatagramSocket.as, Line 15 1017: The definition of base class DatagramSocket was not found.

I feel like I am constantly missing pieces to this thing. As soon as I fix on issue, another one happens.

I am on Flash CS5 and I’m attempting to do this very first tutorial. For those of use who don’t know every package that needs importing, it would be helpful if the imports were included in the sample code. I found them by looking through comments. I also read in the comments to take out the mx.controls, which I did. My real problem is that when I go to publish, I’m prompted for the Flex library path, so I downloaded flex sdk and directed it to the file direction of the sdk, and I get this error:

org\tuio\debug\TuioDebug_Arial.as, Line 10 1017: The definition of base class FontAsset was not found.

I really don’t know what I’m supposed to do with this error. Lil’ help? My code looks like this:

import org.tuio.*;
import org.tuio.*;
import org.tuio.connectors.*;
import org.tuio.debug.*;
import org.tuio.TouchEvent ;

var tc:TuioClient = new TuioClient(new UDPConnector(“127.0.0.1″,3333));

var tm:TuioManager = TuioManager.init(stage);
tc.addListener(tm);

tc.addListener(TuioDebug.init(stage));//a little help to display touches

//draw a simple rectangle to the stage
var myRectangle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myRectangle.graphics.beginFill(0x6633cc);
myRectangle.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 200, 200);

//add the event listener to the rectangle;
myRectangle.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_DOWN, function(e:TouchEvent):void {
trace(“touchdown! ” + e.tuioContainer.sessionID);
});

//add the rectangle to the stage
stage.addChild(myRectangle);

yup just debugged it, the problem was that the stage was null

oh dear god. hands up, i’m an idiot.

sorry guys and thanks for all your help, I had my creationComplete target set as init() rather than onCreationComplete.

my onCreationComplete puts an extra Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE handler if stage not yet initialised.

lesson learned and it’s always the small things!!

update:
the code seems to bail on the line stagePos =
(see below)

TuioManager.as

public function handleAdd(tuioContainer:TuioContainer):void {
var stagePos:Point = new Point(stage.stageWidth * tuioContainer.x, stage.stageHeight * tuioContainer.y);

hi Gimmix,
in case it help shed any light:

It seems ok if just declaring TuioManager & TuioDebug

but if I use ‘.addListener’ to add either to the TuioClient then the exception occurs.

and no, disabling debug has no affect I’m afraid

cheers, i’ve uploaded the source here:

the text warnings are to do with the spark components:

warning: incompatible embedded font ‘Arial’ specified for spark.components::RichEditableText (RichEditableText16) . This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=true

Could you maybe post how you set up your event listeners? What kind of font embedding warning do you get? Does it help to remove the TuioDebug part?
