Look into using the XMLSocket class. You can write a desktop application that opens up a socket connection on a specific port, and then have the Flex app try connecting on the same port. See XMLSocket here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flex_Documentation&file=00001919.htm .. and where the host would be "localhost" or 127.0.0.1. -d -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
