I made a simple c++ console application that communicates with a database.  
I want to make a flash application to communicate with the console that will in turn grab information from the database and send it back to flash.  
Is there a way to do this in as2?  
if not how would I accomplish this in as3 or is there an alternative to sockets in as2?  
Sample code would be really appreciated.  
Please don’t link me to an entire api.

I just need a simple example of how to accomplish sending and receiving data.
