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?
Right.
2. A local socket, is that something like "127.0.0.0: port number"?
Correct again.
3. Does this approach require a specific setup of the computer?
No. Though I can't say whether or not highly restrictive local firewalls, or anti-virus software may cause conflict, though I've done this process on my systems, and it has worked fine.
4. Does this approach work in case of a proxy server being used on the local network?
I don't see why that should matter, since you aren't actually even actually leaving the local system, and the IP is strictly local to the machine.
5. And the last one, although it is Flash related it might be of interest to some more Rev developers: I need to use XMLSocket()?
Sure, but the name is misleading, it is actually just a standard text connection.
In the end, it works like this... you have Rev start listening for a socket connection, you have Flash connect to it, and you start communicating back and forth.
