DatagramSocket API and ServerSocket API

[tigui_plante]

Based on the release notes of 11.8, the DatagramSocket APIs is now supported on iOS.

This API is not in the playerglobal.swc available for download @ http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/flashplayer11-8_playerglobal.swc

How can I access this API ?

Thanks.

That might be because the Flashplayer itself isn't supported on that platform. You are talking about an AIR exclusive feature.

Can we still get this API on PC ?

These APIs are already present in AIR desktop.  These will not be available in Flash Player because of the security implications in the context of a web browser running untrusted/unsigned content.

The DatagramSocket class enables code to send and receive Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets.

AIR profile support: This feature is supported on all desktop operating systems, but is not supported on mobile devices or AIR for TV devices. You can test for support at run time using the DatagramSocket.isSupported property. See AIR Profile Support for more information regarding API support across multiple profiles.

The ServerSocket class allows code to act as a server for Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connections.

AIR profile support: This feature is supported on all desktop operating systems, but is not supported on mobile devices or AIR for TV devices. You can test for support at run time using the ServerSocket.isSupported property. See AIR Profile Support for more information regarding API support across multiple profiles.
