Hello,

I'm considering writing a flash client using sockets to connect to a chat server that I've already written in C#. Unfortunately I don't have any AS experience so was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction (to tutorials or the like for socket connections etc).

any guidance/help would be most appreciated.

thanks,

Burr

thanks for the link. can you tell me, does flash require that certain ports be used for sockets (like silverlight does)?

I've tried connecting to my server on the port I set up for the silverlight client (4505) and it can't connect....

yes, if you're using as2 you must use the xmlsocket class and you must connect to a tcp port >= 1024.
