Do Max/MSP support TCP sockets? How to receive signals sent from Flash (actionscript 2) XML Socket into Max/Msp? I've read about net.tcp recv and flashserver but they don't seem to be supported anymore.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Max doesn't have objects supporting TCP, except Java class net.tcp.recv. Note, that this class should be used with mxj object: [mxj net.tcp.recv]. You can find the source code of this object in the $maxdir$/C74/java-classes/classes/net/tcp/ directory.
In fact, nothing stops you from writing your own Java class for handling TCP. You can start from reading tutorial which bundled with Max: $maxdir$/C74/java-doc/WritingMaxExternalsInJava.pdf. Please note, you should compile Java using Java 6 language, not higher.

Max has udp send and udp receieve objects, over which you can send OSC messages. flosc seems to be a good tool to send receive OSC between Max and Flash.
flosc is a Java server that can communicate with anything that uses the OpenSound Control protocol. It can also communicate with Macromedia Flash (versions 5 and later) using Flash’s XMLSocket feature. flosc acts as a gateway between OSC and Flash...
