I guess this is where this would go. I’m kinda new to connecting to a server or whatever through flash and I was trying to follow some tutorials in a book I have but I have been unsuccessful so far. So I was wondering if anyone would mind giving me a hand on understanding what is needed to get this working and what not.
So I have a webpage thats hosted by yahoo geocities (pro account) and this is what I had for a code in my flash.
_root.ConnectionBox = "";
var xsConnection:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
var bConnected:Boolean = xsConnection.connect("myURL",4444);
xsConnection.onConnect = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void{
if(bSuccess){
_root.ConnectionBox = "....connected!";
_root.play();
}else{
_root.ConnectionBox = "....could not connect.";
_root.play();
}
}
So anyways, I read that certain ports could not be used, but any port at a certain point and up would work. So I could just choose a random port and I would be all set. Sadly, I think the book is leaving out alot and assuming too much. Would I have to have something specific installed to get this to work on my geocities account? (Maybe they don’t support this kind of stuff.) Am I doing it all wrong? All I wanted to do was try and make a chatroom in flash.
