AS3 on Flash 8?

[fl4sh_newbie]

Is there anyway to get the AS3 libs onto flash 8 or do i have to get flash cs3?

Im trying to find a simple AS to send a message to a socks server thats made in vb6. Basicly i need to know how to connect to it and to send the message.

i have found numerous ways to do it but its all in AS3...like this one.

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.Socket;
import flash.util.trace;

public class test_sockets extends Sprite{
public var host:String = ' http://127.0.0.1';
public var port:uint = 80;

public function test_sockets(){
super(host,port);
var conn:Socket = new Socket();
conn.connect(host,port);
conn.addEventListener(EventType.CONNECT,connectListener);
}
public function connectListener(event:Event) {
trace(event.type); // output: connect
}
}
}


Thanks in advance if you can help me. If not well thanks for reading this. Good Day.

Your going to need to get Flash CS3. Flash CS3 has a new compiler specifically for AS3.

Or you can use the Flex SDK for free.
