I'm considering writing a flash client using sockets to connect to a chat server that I've already written in C#. Unfortunately I don't have any AS experience so was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction (to tutorials or the like for socket connections etc).

I am attempting to use an online Flash file to communicate and pass data to a device linked to a client machine.I have got the Flash to work using sockets and when run from the same machine as the device it works fine.However, the flash file needs to be online and I need a way to allow the data to be passed. At the moment it won't connect to the socket on the client machine (I just get a connection failed message after about 10 secs) and I believe that this has to do with the security settings.
I am looking into Cross Domain Policy files as a way of securing the connection, but all of the information present suggests that these are only applicable to server machines. Can I put a Cross Domain policy file on the client machine that would allow the online flash to access one of it's sockets or will a CDP file on the server hosting the flash file be able to allow access to a client machines sockets?
I'm having a problem to receive data from socket.io to Flash (actionscript).
I've tried:
Server (nodejs) socket.io :
var io = require('socket.io').listen(9000);

Flash connects succesful to the server and trace "Connected to flash" but it cannot receive data.
I have a web chat application that uses flash in the client side to open connection to the server. When the client connects to the server I want them to be in connection until the client closes the browser or stops the conversation. The problem is that sometimes there is a network problem and the socket in the client is throwing an error and than closing. What I want is that the socket in the client will not close the socket immediately after an error or a timeout, but will try for at least half minute to check if the connection is fine before throwing the error and closing.
The code in my flash object is this :
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.XMLSocket;
public class jsxmlsocket extends Sprite{

I want to create an extremely simple chat where any client can log into this webpage, two windows, one to enter text and the other to see messages. Very irc-like. How do I resolve the communication? In Director there was the multiuser server that let you talk among swfs, is there something similar in Flash MX? Or should I resort to php/mysql as the only way to go?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to stop a (live) Stream from playing for a user, but keep his NetConnection open for eg chat functionality?I only see a setBandwidthLimit to accomplish something similar to this, but then, if BW is set to 0, chat won't work.Why isn't there a built in feature to do something of seemingly common necessity like Client.stream.stop/change function to stop or change what video playback the client sees?
View 2 RepliesSo I built a videochat client that uses the adobe stratus protocol. Its very simple and just connects two users. However, after about a minute of video chatting the clients freeze and the browser crashes.what might have caused this? Is there some sort of cache that I need to clear every so often or a possible memory leak? I am not sure where to start
View 1 RepliesI'm building a Flex application, which is going to perform many server requests (let's say, that almost all interactions require an update from server). At the moment I'm using remote procedure calls for it. But I was wondering if using a socket would be better. In other terms, is maybe better to keep the connection alive rather then performing many calls in sequence? For my demo app I only have 1 client. Is the number of clients connecting to the server a factor for this choice?
View 1 RepliesWould Director be an option for creating a socket client? My client needs to accept server commands; frame rate, start etc.Director seems like it was made for controlling movies. I've got Director 11.5 at the office.

I made sure the playback security was set to network only on the publish settings menu. I have another program that connects to the same server without a problem, so I don't think it's a cross-domain policy file problem.

I'm new here, so maybe i'm posting in the wrong channel. Please tell me if it is the case. I'm trying to get a simple client socket class to work with events. I have tried each example found with google with no luck, i just tried the "radio listeners" example from here, which worked fine until i put the broadcaster object within my class.

I've read about WebSockets but they don't seem to be pure "sockets", because there is an application layer protocol over them. "ws:"Is there any way of doing a pure socket connection from a web browser, to enliven webpages?Here are my random stabs in the darkApplets sockets provided by Java (need java installed)Flash sockets provided by Flash (need flash installed)But about HTML5, Why are they called WebSockets if they aren't Sockets?
View 3 RepliesI have designed with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 a .fla project that integrates a client - server connection. After publishing it, I have the following issue:- when running the generated .exe file for Windows, then the connection to the server works perfectly- but when I am running the published .html file, then nothing is sent to the server.
I have tried to change the Publish Settings. When setting the Local Playback Security in Flash menu to "Access network only" instead of "Access local files only" then the last packet that was send using the .exe file is resent once and that's all (the html client does not receive the response from the server and the next connection attemps generate data transfer). I guess I have to change some security settings somewhere but I didn't find which.

View 3 Repliesi want to create a chat app using flex 4.5 mobile project for android device. For the chat screen, i wanted it to look glossy and stylish. Hence i thought i would use the list component and disable the selection in it. I m able to add the chat messages into the list. But i doubt if large chat data might hinder the performance. Im using a collection and i ve binded it with the list. Whenever i receive a chat i update the collection and it gets displayed in the list. Can someone tell me if his could pose a performance problem as list component is not intended for this purpose.

View 1 RepliesSteve Jobs just posted this article on why Apple rejects Flash... [URL] I agree that javascript and css can be used to replicate some of Flash's animation, though Flash does all sorts of scaling and tweening that is incredibly powerful, and I'm not sure that there's anything comparable in javascript, if there is, I certainly haven't seen it.
However, my question is about the socket. Flash has an incredibly powerful openSocket class that allows you to connect to a server and have the server and the client talk back and forth to one another. As far as I know there is no equivalent class in Javascript. Am I mistaken? Is there some secret mystery Ajax class that replicates the openSocket? If not, then that feature alone makes Flash an invaluable tool.
Can we perform client to client file transfer, client to server can be done by FileReference. but how do we do client to client transfer, for example if a user wants to send file to another user to whom he is chatting online.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a client-server game. My client is a flex based game, and my server is erlang server. At the beginning, when I test directly my flex client in flash player, I can establish a connection easily to my erlang server through socket connection. And both can exchange data with no problem. The problem rise when I deploy my flex app at Apache http server, and running it using a browser by calling [URL] my flex socket sends message requesting for a crossdomain policy to my erlang server. So I create an xml message that represent a crossdomain policy, and send it back to my flex app as a response for that request.
Yet still I can't establish any permanent socket connection between my flex client and my erlang server. I know this because I add listener on my flex socket that will modify its internal state to CONNECTED, if a connection between client-server has established.
I'm interested in building a chat application in Flash.
