Passing variables between Flash and Rev

I'm new to the socket stuff. Can I ask a few questions about it?

1. So I can have a Flash file played through revBrowser in a Rev  
application, and have that Flash file communicate with the very same  
Rev application through a local socket connection?

2. A local socket, is that something like "127.0.0.0: port number"?

3. Does this approach require a specific setup of the computer?

4. Does this approach work in case of a proxy server being used on  
the local network?

5. And the last one, although it is Flash related it might be of  
interest to some more Rev developers: I need to use XMLSocket()?


Kind regards,

Henk
