I've been developing with Cold Fusion for a few years now, but have just run on to something that I need that I can't find in the language. I want to implement a Flash movie uses the XMLSocket object...is there any way to get CF to listen to the socket and return the data? Or will I have to use PERL or JAVA to do this....or are sockets even allowed with HostMySite.com sites??

Sounds like you are just trying to retrieve some XML data from a web server using a flash movie on the client side.

The client is most likely going to connection over port 80 or 443 I would imagine, so there should not be an issue communicating with the web server to retrieve the information.

I imagine you would have to write some CF on the web server to return the proper XML to your flash client.

I don't have a ton of Flash experience, but this sound like what you're trying to do. I think the XMLSocket object is just a class with methods to connect to a web server to retrieve data on the client end.
