What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Debugging the app with the code arduino.connect("COM3",9600);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? It is the port where my arduino is connected but I get error on air: The extension context does not have a method with the name setupPort.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.99

Please provide any additional information below.

Which Operating System are you using this on?

win 7 64 bits. I was already using a proxy to connect with air and all worked perfectly.

(and a socket in the script)

Which compiler / IDE are you using with this project. We ran across this error with the Mac version of Flash Builder 4.6, but I haven't heard it from any Windows users yet. Do you get the same error if you do a release build for your project?

I'm using flex 4.6 (official realease), now I realeased as a native application and I get the same error when running... it says can't run because pthreadGC2.dll is missing (but I tell the comiler to pack the native extension)

THIS IS ALL THE ERROR FROM THE PLAYER: ArgumentError: Error #3500: The extension context does not have a method with the name setupPort. at flash.external::ExtensionContext/_call() at flash.external::ExtensionContext/call() at com.quetwo.Arduino::ArduinoConnector/connect()[C:\Users\Nicholas Kwiatkowski\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\SerialANELib\src\com\quetwo\Arduino\ArduinoConnector.as:70] at teste/initApp()[C:\Users\My\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\teste\src\teste.mxml:17] at teste/___teste_WindowedApplication1_creationComplete()[C:\Users\My\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\teste\src\teste.mxml:4] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:13152] at mx.core::UIComponent/set initialized()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:1818] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:842] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiationCallback()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:1180]

If it is saying pthreadGC2.dll is missing, then something is amiss. That is the POSIX DLL that should ship with Windows (I had a few people report that it was missing in their install), but I also include it in the ANE package. Because it is packaged with it, it should install in the proper place when you do the install.

Can you try unzipping the .ANE, going to the META-INF\ANE\Windows-x86\ directory, and copying the pthreadGC2.dll copy into your C:\Windows\System32 directory?

Your error message in comment 8 still makes me think that it can call the DLL, but the DLL isn't getting past the initialization function...

Success!!! Now I copied the 2 dll to system32 and to the system64 :P, Now I'm trying to figure out what is really needed

SOLUTION: copy the pthreadGC2.dll to Windows\SysWOW64

In my case, becase of the 64bits... but it's odd because the air is 32...

Good to know. I will add it to the docs once I finish writing them.

Issue closed with release of 1.0.0

Hi guys, I get this problem still and I'm using the latest version from 'source' (assuming version 1.0.0 has been and gone). But your solution works for me so not worried.

I also ran into this problem using the latest from source. Solution worked for me as well. just wanted to let you know.

SOLUTION: copy the pthreadGC2.dll to Windows\SysWOW64

Just for the record, I am using Windows 7, Flash Professional CS6, Air 3.8. I was getting the setupPort error as well.

SOLUTION:

Copy pthreadGC2.dll and libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll to Windows\SysWOW64. In my case, I had to copy both dlls.

I opened the ane and copied both of the .dll's to both System32 and SysWOW64 and still get the error. Using Flash CS6 on Windows 8. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

where do you find libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll? It doesn't seem to be packaged in the ANE.
