It’s actually
xmlSocket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onData);
But the XML data has to be decoded manually (misleading class name!):
var xml = new XML(DataEvent.data);

I’m not used to AS3 but I guess the principle is the same, you should set an eventListener with the event Event.ONDATA or ONXML (I guess, I don’t have AS3 doc here), and then catch the string (or XML-node)

oH, and you need to replace the quotation marks as this form converts them into symbols rather than quotes that flash understands

you have some extra spaces in that code that gives errors.
Heres the fixed code:

var xml_s=new XMLSocket();

xml_s.connect(‘yosefflomin’,8080);

xml_s.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,xmlsocket);//OnConnect//

xml_s.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE,xmlsocket);//OnDisconnect//

xml_s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,xmlsocket);//Unable To Connect/

function xmlsocket(Event):void{

switch(Event.type){
case ‘ioError’: //Unable to Connect //
trace(‘Couldnt Connect’);
break;

case ‘connect’: //Connected //
trace(‘Connected!’);
break;

case ‘close’: //OnDisconnect //
trace(‘Disconnected!’);
break; } }

xml_s.send(“MESSAGE HERE”);
