Maybe I'm not understanding something about your question but AFAIK Flex is a client-side technology - how could it possibly host a service when in fact the app has been downloaded and it is running on a user's machine?
I don't think Flex or Flash is intended to operate in the fashion you describe - for security reasons if nothing else. I think you could achieve something similar using Flex Data Services where Flex clients can subscribe to message gateways, threads and such, but still the Flex app is operating only as a client, not as a host.

However, I couldn't find any answer to my question on the multiple websites I've been browsing. My current project would require the Flex (or Apollo) application on the desktop to "host" a remote callable service the same way as a messenger would do or any other Peer2Peer application would. Unfortunatelly, it seems that there are no such feature available. ActionScript comes with some classes to perform remote calls but nothing seems in place to actually host a small service (UDP/TCP based protocols). So, could anyone tell me if I'm wrong saying so? And if I'm not wrong, would it be possible for me to extand the networking capabilities with my own hosting service that I could embed into Flex?
