FUDI bridge

The FUDI bridge serves as bridge between Flash and Puredata. It implements a policy server to allow Flash to connect to TCP Sockets and a bridge server when using the netreceive object in Flash, since Flash can only connect to servers not create one.

The policy server always opens a port at 843. The FUDI server always opens a port at 3001. This will be changed in a later release to allow custom ports.

Running the FUDI bridge

• Windows users simply double click the fudi_bridge.jar

• Mac and Linux users must run the fudi_bridge.jar as root There are two ways to do this:

  1. Open a terminal and cd to the folder where the fudi_bridge.jar resides, then type: sudo java -jar fudi_bridge.jar &
  2. Open a terminal and type (' ' becomes '\ '): sudo java -jar /path/to\ the\ folder/fudi_bridge.jar &

  You can close the terminal window now.

  For an OS other than Mac and Ubuntu your root command will probably not be sudo.

Examples

Each example comes with its own readme file, please read it.
