Name
XMLSocket.close( ) Method — terminate an open connection to a server application
Availability
Flash 5
Synopsis
socket.close( )
Description
The close( )
method severs the communication
link between socket
and a server
application. Once close( )
has been executed on
socket
, subsequent attempts to invoke
send( )
on socket
fail. Likewise, the server application will no longer be able to send
data to Flash through socket
.
Note that close( )
has no effect if the
socket
is already closed or was never
connected. Furthermore, close( )
does not
trigger the onClose( )
handler of the socket
object—onClose( )
is triggered only by a
server-side connection closure.
