As mentioned above, the solution is to assume that not all data will be found for each execution of the event handler. So we store what we do find in a buffer until an end of the line character is found. We can then reconstruct the variable with the pieces of data.

Thanks and best regards from Madrid. Hello Iestyn:

For now, i'll stick with AS3glue and Firmata, but if I need to go without, i'll bear in mind what you've said. Hey Brett :)

What you are running into isn’t a big deal to fix yourself. Relying on a message to show up in one packet can be dangerous. If you look at any of the example serial read scripts in arduino they typically loop over the buffer until an end character is found and then the message is processed. So you can do the same in flash. If you are sending data to flash with the Serial.println() function you can test for the new line character as the end of message at which point you can process it. Hope that helps. Thanks for the link(s). What you are running into isn’t a big deal to fix yourself. Relying on a message to show up in one packet can be dangerous.

It's worth noting is that the Firmata firmware should be the only thing you need to upload to the Arduino board (until they release an updated version) as using it you can just control the board using Flash. It runs at 57600 baud rate by default. Owen Hi Iestyn,
