Arduino -> Processing serial confusion?

hey all, i'm testing new toy i'm building, , having issues serial communication ... upload code stream arduino serial data between 0 & 127, , if use serial watcher in arduino, numbers come correctly. if try watch numbers in processing 10, 16, 13, 5, 14... want data in, without weirdness... here's sources:

code: [select]

/* ####################################################################

int apin0 = 0;     // potentiometer wiper (middle terminal) connected
to analog pin 3
                 // outside leads ground , +5v
float smoothedval;

void setup()
{
serial.begin(38400);          //  setup baud rate(midi = 31250)
}

void loop()
{
  smoothedval =  smooth(analogread(apin0)/8, 0.5, smoothedval);
serial.println(smoothedval, dec);  //note data
}
int smooth(int data, float filterval, float smoothedval){

if (filterval > 1){      // check make sure param's within range
  filterval = .99;
}
else if (filterval <= 0){
  filterval = 0;
}

smoothedval = (data * (1 - filterval)) + (smoothedval  *  filterval);

return (int)smoothedval;
}

// example 19-8: reading serial port

import processing.serial.*;

int val = 0; // store data serial port, used color background
serial port; // serial port object

void setup() {
size(200,200);

// in case want see list of available ports
// println(serial.list());

// using first available port (might different on computer)
port = new serial(this, "com14", 38400);
}

void draw() {
// serial data used color background.
background(val);
}

// called whenever there available read
void serialevent(serial port) {
// data serial port read in serialevent() using the
read() function , assigned global variable: val
val = port.read();
// debugging
println( "input:" + val);
}

any appreciated.

you sending data arduino multi byte decimal number 127 3 byte 1 followed 2 followed 7. in ascii send 0x31, 0x32, 0x37;

in processing receiving single byte, 1 byte of number. that's why don't match up.
