Actionscript ServerSocket Verify Connection - actionscript-3

Question

In flash, we can create a server socket with this:
protected var socket:ServerSocket = new ServerSocket();
protected function createServer():void
{
socket.bind(1234,"0.0.0.0");
socket.addEventListener(ServerSocketConnectEvent.CONNECT, clientConnectedHandler);
// start listening for connections
socket.listen();
}
With this, any flash application try to connect to the server socket with the port 1234 will get connected. How can I do verification on connection to make sure it is connected from my application before accepting the connection on server socket?
Thank you.

SockerServer instance will throw errors on failure:
RangeError — This error occurs when localPort is less than 0 or greater than 65535.
ArgumentError — This error occurs when localAddress is not a
syntactically well-formed IP address. IOError — when the socket
cannot be bound, such as when: the underlying network socket (IP and
port) is already in bound by another object or process. the
application is running under a user account that does not have the
privileges necessary to bind to the port. Privilege issues typically
occur when attempting to bind to well known ports (localPort < 1024)
this ServerSocket object is already bound. (Call close() before
binding to a different socket.) when localAddress is not a valid local
address.
You can use try..catch statements to handle those errors.
If those errors aren't thrown, opening port went successfully :)
