<br><i>from MM's materials :</i>
<p><b>Using the XMLSocket object</b>
<br>To use the XMLSocket object, the server computer <i>(sic)</i> must
run a daemon that understands the protocol used by the XMLSocket object.
The protocol is as follows:
<br>
<p> ~ XML messages are sent over a full-duplex
TCP/IP stream socket connection.
<p> ~ Each XML message is a complete XML document,
terminated by a zero byte.
<p> ~ An unlimited number of XML messages
can be sent and received over a single
<br>XMLSocket connection.
<br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<p>the best bet might be to establish a socket on the user's machine via
"localhost" and route the stream through that. Flash has problems
with regards to it's "security" scheme which can cause trouble as well.
<br>New files which are loaded into the client, when embedded in a browser,
have to derive from the domain of the original file - this apparently
includes XML. This isn't a problem with projectors.</html>
