What is the socket.io of Flex? > This is not my area of expertise at all. I haven’t used socket.io to truly know what it can do. Here’s my take: 1) The Flex SDK comes with HTTPService and RemoteObject classes for getting data from the server. HTTPService is commonly used to get JSON, and RemoteObject is used for AMF. 2) BlazeDS builds on top of that. Not everybody needs it. 3) Socket.io appears to use server-side javascript. There are some server-side ActionScript libraries out there. I have no idea how good they are. I believe BlazeDS was built for enterprises with Java running on the server. HTH, -Alex
