Subject: RE: FLASH: Reading data from the xml socket

As far as I can tell, the XMLsocket isnt really an XMLsocket, but rather a
simple socket.

The data you send and get can be arbritary text data.

Im not sure if this helps, but why not treat the data you get from your
onXML handler as straight text data and either display that, or parse it
into a new XML object.

BTW, I find it easier to express my socket handlers like this:

sock.onConnect = function(success) {
if (success) {
// foo
} else {
// bar
}
}
