There is no way to create an actual CDATA node in Flash, at least not
with Version 8 or lower. You have to resort to escaping the string so
that it doesn't have invalid characters or not use XMLNode for this.

John Grden showed me how at one point and it really wasn't all that
hard. Anyway, you basically have to create MovieClips for all of the
component's assetts and make sure that each of them have the
appropriate linkage identifier setup. Here is a brief overview of
that on Metaliq's website:

Well, you could also look into an existing Socket server to handle
your messaging teer. I'm working on an applicatino that utilizes XMPP

here:

Well you can use SWFMILL to do that too, but that's pretty much the

I use Oxygen for all of my XML work including XSLT transformations, SOAP

Hey Jim,
Did you try upgrading the JVM to 1.5? That seemed to help performance quite
a bit once I did that.

Yeah,
Just map the event XMLSocket.onClose() to your own method using
mx.utils.Delegate, or whatever your event handling preference is.
In the simplest case just do this:
socket.onClose = function () {
trace("Connection to server lost.");
}
Take a look at the documentation here:

Interesting observation Weyert. I always initiate the closing of my
socket session through the protocol that I'm using and the server ends
the connection. That obviously fires the onClose() event. I had
assumed it did that too if the client does closes first, but I guess
not.
Anyway, thanks for

Try using Xray http://osflash.org/xray
It comes with a tt(YourObject) method that will recursively trace your
objects. It also allows you to inspect objects, MovieClips or whatever is
in your Flash movie and manipulate them with a GUI at run-time. It's
freaking great!

Why not use Xpath.selectSingleNode() if you are only looking for one node?

I don't know about the XMPP implementation that Dreamhost uses, but some of
