Example
The following function overrides the default implementation of the onXML() method in a
simple chat application. The myOnXML() function instructs the chat application to recognize a
single XML element, MESSAGE, in the following format:
.
var socket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
In the following example, the displayMessage() function is assumed to be a user-defined
function that displays the message that the user receives:
socket.onXML = function (doc) {
var e = doc.firstChild;
if (e != null && e.nodeName == "MESSAGE") {
displayMessage(e.attributes.user, e.attributes.text);
}
}

Array function
send (XMLSocket.send method)
public send(data:Object) : Void
Converts the XML object or data specified in the object parameter to a string and transmits
it to the server, followed by a zero (0) byte. If object is an XML object, the string is the
textual representation of the XML object. The send operation is asynchronous; it returns
immediately, but the data can be transmitted at a later time. The XMLSocket.send() method
does not return a value indicating whether the data was successfully transmitted.
If the XMLSocket object is not connected to the server (using the XMLSocket.connect()
method), the XMLSocket.send() operation fails.
Parameters
data:Object - An XML object or other data to transmit to the server.
Example
The following example shows how to specify a user name and password to send the my_xml
XML object to the server:
var myXMLSocket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
var my_xml:XML = new XML();
var myLogin:XMLNode = my_xml.createElement("login");
myLogin.attributes.username = usernameTextField;
myLogin.attributes.password = passwordTextField;
