I hope you don’t mind, but thought it might be useful to leave this here for others (found your post when looking for help) – I had a similar problem without the involvement of Java; just listening with netcat, couldn’t seem to write to the AS3 socket.

My problem was that I wasn’t waiting for successful connection before writing to the socket. Code I needed looked like (where s is my Socket):

s.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.CONNECT, onConnect);

then
private function onConnect(event:Event):void {
if(s.connected) {
textOut.appendText(“connected”);
s.writeUTF( “SUP …”);
s.flush();
}
}

Was just wondering if anyone could help me with multithreading, in regards to this server how would I allow connections from more than one client at a time?
I believe this is an old post, but it is very useful in dealing with policy files.

This is actually the ONLY Java version of a Flash XMLSocket-compatible server I could find accross the web.
It is absolutely mandatory to avoid any “Buffered*” reader of writer class in Java because they add some delay and Flash does not wait for that, it justs spoils the attempt.
I found that with wireshark.

My policy file is
msg = “”
+ “”
+ “”
+ “”;

The null byte is mandatory as well : out.write((byte)0);

Thanks Man !

Hey, very helpful since this policy thing is really a damn.

I will try that, thanks.
