XMLSocket.connect() 1063

If XMLSocket.connect() returns a value of true, the initial stage of the connection process is

successful; later, the

XMLSocket.onConnect method is invoked to determine whether the final

connection succeeded or failed. If

XMLSocket.connect() returns false, a connection could not

be established.

Example

The following example uses XMLSocket.connect() to connect to the host where the SWF

file resides and uses

trace to display the return value indicating the success or failure of

the connection:

var socket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket()

socket.onConnect = function (success:Boolean) {

if (success) {

trace ("Connection succeeded!")

} else {

trace ("Connection failed!")

}

if (!socket.connect(null, 2000)) {

trace ("Connection failed!")

}
