[Red5] UUIDs in ActionScript

[Art Clarke]

Hi folks,

 

I know this isn't specifically Red5 related but I need this for the Red5 app
I'm building.  I'm writing a flash application and corresponding Red5 java
app that pass events back and forth to each other (using ActionScript
NetConnection.call and Red5 IServiceCall stuff.  I'd like to pass a Unique
Identifier back and forth for each event to aid in debugging.  In prior
systems I've gotten used to using RFC 4122 UUIDs (the stuff that Java and
MSFT use for this).

 

Generating a version 4 UUID in Red5 is trivial (java.util.UUID), but there
doesn't seem to be a correspondingly easy way to generate RFC-compliant
UUIDs in flash, and I want the event originator (which is Flash) to set the
UUID.  Does anyone know of a library or code out there that does this in
ActionScript (if not, I'm happy to share whatever I end up creating)?

 

Thanks in advance,
