Flex and Java - a simple example server and client

The other day I discovered that Flex has the ability to open up a custom socket, allowing all sorts of cool possibilities (i.e. multiplayer games).

So I sat down to code a little Java server and Flex client that could talk to eachother. What evolved was a super simple (and rather useless) little chat app. Its anonymous, only works on one computer, but - what the heck - I learned something.

Now, here it is, in all its splendor. You should be able to view the readme.txt file in the root directory and get all you need there to start it up.

flex2java.zip (4 mb, big because its using Java Service Wrapper)

Enjoy!
