Hi,  
I am learning about xmlsockets. I have tried the given example (flash 8 help)  
\*\*var theSocket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();  
theSocket.connect(“localhost”, 12345);

theSocket.onConnect = function(myStatus) {  
if (myStatus) {  
conn\_txt.text = “connection successful”;  
} else {  
conn\_txt.text = “no connection made”;  
}  
};  
\*\*  
it returns always no connection made, but when i am testing [http://localhost](http://localhost) in my browser it shows home page(i am using wamp server).  
I do not understand what the problem is please help me.

Thanks in advance  
Gunjan
