Touch Gateway

I mentioned to the guys over at the nuigroup.com forums that I would release my AS3 binary TUIO socket class this weekend…

Download TouchGateway Wrapper Beta 1

… and here it is, included is everything you need to get started, 2 flex builder projects (pure as3) one is the source to the Debug Grid I posted a while ago, and the other one is a wrapper which handles the java applet loading and manages placeholders, which generally makes things much easier to use.

Essentialy all you need to do is put the TouchGatewayWrapper on your page, and set a couple of properties that point to your multitouch application swf file.

<param name=”movie” value=”TouchGatewayWrapper.swf?placeholder=DebugGrid.png&movie=DebugGrid.swf” />

<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” />

<param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”True” />

<param name=”menu” value=”true” />

as you can see here I am setting placeholder to a png file that is in the same folder as the touchgatewaywrapper and the movie to the DebugGrid using a simple query string format. Also make sure you have allowScriptAccess, allowFullscreen and menu all enabled too

I would have liked to get some better examples included with this, but I had to work over the weekend on short notice and I hate to disappoint, so I have released it as it is for the moment. More examples will come soon.

How to use:

-Press on screen (mouse, touch, multi-touch)
-Rollover/touch/click already created circles to remove them and their sound
-Press the upper left ‘clear’ button to clear all circles and sounds on screen.

Source Changes By Pleh…

• Converted to a flex builder project
• Embedded all mp3 files so no need for the bloom sub folder at runtime
• Added  “Wait for stage” initilization

Hi everyone. I have finally got a blog up to showcase my work. I have been working on a way to run multi-touch flash applications directly from a website, and now its finally time to show you all how far I’m up to.

Please excuse all the default WordPress stuff, I haven’t had a chance to set everything up yet

Here is a simple application I made for debugging. To use it you must first be running a TUIO provider, I suggest tBeta (http://tbeta.nuigroup.com/) once you have a TUIO provider broadcasting on port 3333, click the button below to start using your multi-touch hardware directly on the website!

P.S. if you get stuck on Loading TouchGateway, wait a few seconds and click the button again, its a known bug that I’m working on
