need some help

[Guest]

Hi im from colombia, I need to make a simulation in flash about the protocol  TCP/ IP its can be possible????

[moccamaximum]

what do you mean by "simulation"?

[Guest]

I need to so a simulation where the student can see how is the function of the protocol TCP /IP

You'll need to explain exactly what you want the simulation to demonstrate.  Then someone might be able to tell you if it is possible with Flash (it probably is). 

If you are hoping to get someone to show you how to do it, you will get better results if you have some code/design to show that you are having a problem with.

As Ned  already pointed out:

1. What Level is this simulation targeted at (university students, engineers, is it sth you have to do as a class assignemtn yourself?)

2. You can be as sophisticated to demonstrate tcp/IP as this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpipsim/?source=dlp

or you can as abstract as a wikipedia entry, so on which end of the spectrum is ist?

[Guest]

It is my final work as a student to get my degree, Im doing an OVA about this protocol, the idea is that the university students can go intothe simulation and see how the protocol TCP/IP works,

You will have to dive into the flash.net package

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/package-detail.html

and here especially the Socket class

Here is an interesting concepts that tries to demonstrate TCP/IP via gamemechanics:

Good luck and report back if you have problems with the implementation
