Processing client only matches app name, not server name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

SyphonClient takes a serverName argument, but this actually matches app name. 
It should take serverName and appName arguments.

Working on it.

if only one string is provided to the constructor of the client class, should 
it be interpreted as an app name or as a server name?

r189 looks good except SyphonClient shouldn't throw an exception if no names 
are provided - the underlying SyphonNameboundClient will match any available 
client if neither are provided. Indeed the example project could use it so it 
will match any client - perhaps with a commented-out line with a match for a 
specific client.

Ah I now see your commented-out lines in r190 - that is great but also permit 
SyphonClient(this, "") and SyphonClient(this, "", "").

Has anyone looked at this code in awhile? I tried specifying both application 
and server names as in r190 but it says that the constructor is undefined. 
Ideally, I am trying to receive data from a Max Patch with 3 different servers.
  client = new SyphonClient(this, "Max", "Grab1");
  client = new SyphonClient(this, "Max", "Grab2");
  client = new SyphonClient(this, "Max", "Grab3");

Hello, I haven't had time to work on it lately, but in the last round of 
changes the constructor of SyphonClient allows you to specify different servers 
within the same app. Take a look at the comments in the ReceiveFrames example:

"A Syphon server can be specified by the name of the application that it 
contains it, its name, or both:

1) Only application name.
client = new SyphonClient(this, "SendFrames");

2) Both application and server names
client = new SyphonClient(this, "SendFrames", "Processing Syphon");

3) Only server name
client = new SyphonClient(this, "", "Processing Syphon");

An application can have several servers:
clientRaw = new SyphonClient(this, "Quartz Composer", "Raw Image");
clientScene = new SyphonClient(this, "Quartz Composer", "Scene");
"

These different constructors should be available in the last release (Public 
Beta 2 r7)
