Hi Michael,
the socket might be buffering your data, so a blunt for approach is to do is
keep aggregating the data into a buffer and attempt to parse it, if it
parses correctly then you can close the socket, if not then keep waiting
until either the socket is closed remotely or you get all the data. Here's
some pseudocode:
var buffer:String = "";
function onSocketData(event:Event)
{
buffer += event.data;
try
{
xml = new XML(buffer);
// if no parsing error, then the packet is complete:
socket.close();
notifyPacketComplete();
}
catch (e:Error)
{
trace("oops, maybe not done yet, i'll wait");
// do nothing and onSocketData will be called again
}
}
good luck
