hi Raj
I am using action script xml sockets. Now anyone can help me in transferring a file to client using action script xml sockets.
Why not just use HTTP? It was invented for transferring files. Anyway, to use an XMLSocket, you'd use need to be sure your file didn't contain zero bytes. Then the server would use a socket class like this: class FileSender(LineOnlyReceiver): delimiter = chr(0) def send(self, filename): f = open(filename) msg = f.read() f.close() self.transport.write(msg + self.delimiter) and the Actionscript side would be something like: /* within the receiver class */ this.onData = function(msg:String){ trace("got the file contents: " + msg); } If it does contain zero bytes you need to get rid of them somehow. The easiest way might be to run the string through python's urllib.urlencode on the server side, followed by actionscript's LoadVars.decode on the client side. But really you should use HTTP. It'll be simpler. Douglas
