Interesting idea. But I think you'll have to overcome Flash's security
restrictions. If the Flash file is loaded from the web, by default it
can't connect to any other domain, including the local domain.
However, there is a way to get round this by using a cross-domain
policy file. I've never tried this for XMLSocket(), but according to
the docs it's doable. However, it's not clear whether that can be used
for connections to localhost instead of other domains on the internet.
Worth trying. There's some information here about implementing a
socket policy file.

I think "localhost:portnum" will work.
Please let us know if you have any success.
