FlashSocket.IO
A Flash library enabling Flex and ActionScript clients to connect to Socket.IO servers with WebSocket support.
What is FlashSocket.IO?
FlashSocket.IO is a library that enables Flash, Flex, and ActionScript applications to connect to Socket.IO servers. It solves the problem of integrating legacy Flash Platform clients with modern real-time web servers by implementing the Socket.IO protocol and WebSocket communication.
Flash and Flex developers who need to connect their applications to Socket.IO-based real-time servers, particularly those maintaining legacy Flash Platform projects.
Developers choose FlashSocket.IO because it provides a specialized, protocol-compliant solution for Flash clients to communicate with Socket.IO servers, which isn't natively supported by the Flash Platform. It handles the complexities of WebSocket connections and Socket.IO messaging automatically.
