This can happen if you didn’t close the connector properly after a previous execution of the app. -> See: UDPConnector.close()
This will also happen if the IP or Port is invalid or already in use.
To temporarily fix this you can open the Taskmanager and kill all flash or air tasks that are still running in the background if you encounter this error.

Chronoless, do you have the line “import org.tuio.connectors.UDPConnector;”?

I’ve got a kinda stupid problem and I don’t know how to fix it:
When I copy-paste the above code I get the following error : 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method UDPConnector.
I’ve put the org directory in the same root as the Fla file.
Any idea what goes wrong?

Well it looks like sending to a broadcast address isn’t officially supported by the DatagramSocket so you are lucky it works for windows.
What you could try is using a TUIO multiplexer like Throng

Hi gimmix – I was able to get an AIR app on 2 different machines to send and receive no problem – on PC. I tried the same thing on Mac but when trying to send a packet (.sendOSCPacket) it throws an error:

Error: Error #2031: Socket Error.
at flash.net::DatagramSocket/internalSend()
at flash.net::DatagramSocket/send()
…..etc.

If I have one app on a PC and one on a Mac, the Mac one does still receive the packets – it’s just sending on Mac that is failing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for that! I will test it out in my project and let you know how it goes. Much appreciated.

afaik 255.255.255.255 is the regular broadcast IP and it seems to work fine for me.

here’s a little snippet:

var outConn:UDPConnector = new UDPConnector(“255.255.255.255″, 3333, false);
var inConn:UDPConnector = new UDPConnector(“your IP or 0.0.0.0″, 3333);

Hi gimmix – I was attempting to use 1.255 to send a broadcast message that other apps on the network would be listening for (including the one sending it) to synchronize an event. But I guess this is not possible?
