DNS-SD with mergeBonjour and rresocket?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Closer…

So, yea I meant what you said about the desktop app and accepting connections…

I'm doing this on the desktop teacher app to start the socket:

on mouseUp
  accept connections on port 5600 with message "someoneConnected"
end mouseUp

on someoneConnected theIP
  read from socket theIP until return with message "newMessage"
end someoneConnected

on newMessage theIp theMessage
  put theIP & ":" && theMessage & return after field "text"
  read from socket theIP until return with message "newMessage"
end newMessage


On the client iOS app the mergeBonjour is working fine, but I don't have the rresocket script down. Here's what I've tried: (two buttons)

First button, 

on mouseUp
   rreSocketOpen "10.58.0.56:5600"
   put the result into fld "result"
end mouseUp

(and assorted variations of that…)

Second button, 

on mouseUp
   rreSocketWrite field "message" & return, "10.58.0.56:5600"
   put the result into fld "result"
end mouseUp

(and also assorted variations of that…)

Am I close?

Thank you!

Basically, get the ip and port from mergBonjour then open a socket and write to it when you get the callback after opening then close or read from it when you get the callback after the write. On the desktop you accept connections with message and when the message is triggered you read from the socket then close or send a response etc.
