Ah, there are 2 errors is there, socket is a temporary variable within the connect method and null is not a valid value for the server.
Think of the <mx:Script> block as a class (because it is at runtime). I made this mistake first time round the MXML tree. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.utils.Delegate; var socket:XMLSocket public function serverConnected(success:Boolean) { if (success) { stat.text="Status = Connected"; } else { stat.text="Status = Error"; } } public function connect(event){ socket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket(); socket.onConnect = Delegate.create( this , serverConnected ); socket.connect( 'localhost' , 9875); return } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Text text="XMLSocket Test App" width="205" textAlign="center" /> <mx:Button label="Connect to XML Server" click="connect()" /> <mx:Label id="stat" text="Status = " width="144" textAlign="center" /> </mx:Application> Cheers, Ted ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of cshafer213 > Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 8:18 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: XML Socket Doesn't Work > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Theodore E Patrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > Thanks for responding and putting me on the right track.
