It wasn't me who posted originally but I did play around with the 
concept after reading that post.  This is the code I have in the 
concept stack I made based on the post.  If I remember correctly I was 
using this with the Flash XML object using sockets.

=====
== BUTTON SCRIPT WHICH OPENS THE SOCKET FOR XML COMMUNICATION WITH FLASH
== NAMED "startXML"
=====
on mouseUp
   put empty into fld "results"

   accept connections on port 7979 with message "wFlashSocket"
end mouseUp

on wFlashSocket pSocket
   # Store socket for further use
   set the uFlashSocket of me to pSocket

   put "request received"

   set itemDelimiter to "$"
   set socketTimeoutInterval to 100
   read from socket pSocket for 1 line
   put item 2 of it & pSocket into field "results"
   write "hi" & return & null to socket pSocket
end wFlashSocket

=====
== BUTTON SCRIPT THAT SENDS A MESSAGE TO FLASH THROUGH AN OPEN SOCKET
=====
on mouseUp
   write "<element>Hi Flash</element>" & null to socket the uFlashSocket 
of button "startXML"
end mouseUp
