I have been piecing some code together to try to get this working and am still having some problems, I can get the connection to establish but I cannot get the onData function to work. If anyone has any insight to this it would be greatly appreciated!

function lsOnConnect(success) {  
if (success) {  
trace (“Connection succeeded!”)  
} else {  
trace (“Connection failed!”)  
}  
}

var socket = new XMLSocket();  
socket.onConnect = lsOnConnect  
if (!socket.connect(‘ipnumber’, 0000)) {  
trace (“Connection failed!”)  
}

socket.onData = function(success){  
if (success){  
trace (“loaded”);  
}  
else {  
trace(“XML did not load”);  
}  
}
