I am not sure, if Flash Player can listen on particular socket. But what you can do is to start a session from Flash Player, then you can push data to player from server...
You can do p2p apps in Flash Player...two flash player cant communicate over socket, I think that would be a cool feature but security concerns :)
BTW! I wrote a HTTP client, dirty code actually..check out on my blog: http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/http_authentica.php

Yikes! I forgot there are no threads in Flex! so a polling/listening loop won't work ... I would have to have a timer to poll periodically ... no so pretty ...

Hey, does anyone have an idea how to build an HTTP (or socket) client + server inside a Flex app?
I could use HTTPService for the client stuff but in my scenario I need to allow the Flex app to both send requests as well as receive them, so HTTPService is only half of the solution.. unless I'm missing something.
I could use FES pub-sub to push data to the Flex app (and HTTPService to pull data/make calls on demand) but I can't do that because of the additional cost of the FES deployment license (given that in my scenario the service would have to run on the user's desktop.) And I definitely want to avoid having to periodically poll for data from the Flex app.
I believe that it can be done but that I would have to spend a good amount of time experimenting with it.. However, it seems like a common need so I'd like to find out if anyone has done it before?
Thanks
