You don't need to use a socket for this. Load the data with a URLLoader, setting URLLoader.dataFormat to URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY.
You'll get a ByteArray. Pass that to Loader::loadBytes() wait for the complete event to fire and you're all set. Well, almost. If the loaded swf is in a different domain, you need a crossdomain. If I recall correctly, this case also involved some LoaderContext particular setup (can't remember the details, though). You don't need to do anything server-side if you are serving the swf as a normal file.
