Well...nothing would, normally. You'd have to set up a server to talk
to you on that socket, develop a protocol for conversing over the
socket, etc.
An XML socket is just a pipe to communicate over. Unlike normal http
requests which encapsulate the http conversation so you don't see it,
a raw XML socket requires you to define what messages are going to be
sent by whom and what those messages mean.
Does that help, or have I misunderstood your question?

I am trying to understand how socket communications work in flex.
This code will connect to a port 8080 on a local computer:
var xmlsock:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
xmlsock.connect("127.0.0.1", 8080);
But what I dont understand is what would be sending data to that
port?
Thanks
