Socket data from Node.js is not received in the Flash client

Question

I'm having a problem to receive data from socket.io to Flash (actionscript).

I've tried:

Server (nodejs) socket.io :

var io = require('socket.io').listen(9000);
setInterval(function() {
io.sockets.emit('hello');
console.log("test");
}, 500 );

Client (actionscript) Socket();

import flash.net.Socket;
import flash.events.*;
var socket:Socket = new Socket();
Security.allowDomain("*");
socket.connect("localhost", 9000);
socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect);
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketDataHandler);
function onConnect( evt:Event ):void
{
trace( "Connected to flash");
}
function socketDataHandler(evt:ProgressEvent):void  
{  
trace("socketDataHandler: " + evt);
}

Output

Flash connects succesful to the server and trace "Connected to flash" but it cannot receive data. Any ideas?

See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/Socket.html#includeExamplesSummary and look at the method called readResponse.

You need to read the bytes from the stream.

Or just use that very example and you'll know that there is not something wrong with the client-side functionality.
