Subject: RE: Flash socket server - can I make it any shorter??

This is very cool.  

The code you are looking for is TCPServer.open("0.0.0.0",4444)

That listens on all devices.

BTW:  I just joined this project:

http://freemovie.sourceforge.net

to get the Ruby library up to the current PHP reference implementation.
This will allow us to generate .swf files from a pure Ruby script.

I think that flash/actionscript and ruby (as the backend) would ROCK.
