Adobe After Effects Help Using Help The Socket Object Back 224 Terminates the open connection. The return value is true if the connection was closed, false on I/O errors. Deleting the connection has the same effect. Remember, however, that JavaScript garbage collects the object at some null time, so the connection may stay open longer than you want to if you do not close it explicitly. Returns Boolean listen (Number port [, String encoding]); Instructs the object to start listening for an incoming connection. The port argument is the TCP/IP port number where the object should listen on; typical values are 80 for a Web server, 23 for a Telnet server and so on. The encoding parameter is optional. The call to listen() is mutually exclusive to a call to open(). The result is true if the connection object successfully started listening, false otherwise. Parameters port encoding Number String The port number to listen on. Valid port numbers are 1 to 65535. The encoding to be used for the connection. Typical values are "ASCII", "binary", or "UTF-8". This parameter defaults to ASCII. Returns Boolean open (String computer [, String encoding]); Open the connection for subsequent read/write operations. The computer name is the name or IP address, followed by a colon and the port number to connect to. The port number is mandatory. Valid computer names are, for example, "www.adobe.com:80" or "192.150.14.12:80". The encoding parameter is optional; currently, it can be one of "ASCII", "binary" or "UTF-8". The call to open() is mutually exclusive to a call to listen(). Parameters host encoding String String The name or IP address of the remote computer, followed by a colon and the port number to connect to.The port number is mandatory.Valid computer names are e.g. "www.adobe.com:80" or "192.150.14.12:80". The encoding to be used for the connection. Typical values are "ASCII", "binary", or "UTF-8". This parameter defaults to ASCII. Returns Boolean poll(); Check a listening object for a new incoming connection. If a connection request was detected, the method returns a new Socket object that wraps the new connection. Use this connection object to communicate with the remote computer. After use, close the connection and delete the JavaScript object. If no new connection request was detected, the method returns null. Returns a new Socket object or null. read ([Number count]); Using Help Back 224
