I'm new to the socket stuff. Can I ask a few questions about it?

1. So I can have a Flash file played through revBrowser in a Rev application, and have that Flash file communicate with the very same Rev application through a local socket connection?

Interesting idea. But I think you'll have to overcome Flash's security restrictions. If the Flash file is loaded from the web, by default it can't connect to any other domain, including the local domain. However, there is a way to get round this by using a cross-domain policy file. I've never tried this for XMLSocket(), but according to the docs it's doable. However, it's not clear whether that can be used for connections to localhost instead of other domains on the internet. Worth trying. There's some information here about implementing a socket policy file.

2. A local socket, is that something like "127.0.0.0: port number"?

I think "localhost:portnum" will work.

Please let us know if you have any success.

Cheers
Dave
