Laziza JSFL Server

Laziza is a TCP Server, listening to clients JSFL commands on port 1212, running on a windows machine with Flash mx2004/8.

It allows to make whatever can be done locally with JSFL and can send flash outputs and errors to the connected clients.

The server can be reached from a simple terminal (telnet, netcat, putty…) to execute JSFL tasks such as compile flas from a linux machine. An usage with a tcp client is basically: cat script.jsfl | netcat HOST 1212.

Connect yourself to the machine on the 1212 port (replace host/IP with a valid hostname or IP address):

• from a telnet client, type `telnet host/IP 1212`,
• from putty, type `putty host/IP 1212`,
• from netcat type `netcat host/IP 1212`.

LAZIZA commands (non-case sensitive)

exec fl.trace("Hello from flash");

will display 'Hello from flash'

fl.trace("Hello");
fl.trace("from flash");
EXEC

will display 'hello' and 'from flash' on two lines. The EXEC word at the end of a multine sequence allow us to pipe JSFL scripts through the STDIN:

Scripts can be executed through the STDIN, using the pipe mecanism. Here is an example using netcat from an unix shell:

$/bin/sh
echo 'fl.trace("Hello from a JSFL script.");' > script
echo 'EXEC' >> script
echo 'EXIT' >> script
cat script | nc {HOST/IP} 1212
rm script

Using pipes and a shell tcp client mades easy the build of your own interface. I'm writing a gui to work on my colleagues .fla files from my linux desktop.

JSFL is the implementation of Mozilla SpiderMonkey in flash, a core Javascript-C engine.
