Cant connect AIR app to socket.io

I'm trying to connect an AIR application to socket.io, it's just not working. This is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
                       xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
                       xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                       creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler(event)">

    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout />
    </s:layout>

    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import com.pnwrain.flashsocket.FlashSocket;
            import com.pnwrain.flashsocket.events.FlashSocketEvent;

            import mx.events.FlexEvent;

            protected var socket:FlashSocket;


            protected function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                trace("Connect");
                socket = new FlashSocket("ws://mydomain.com:8080/socketFolder/");
                socket.addEventListener(FlashSocketEvent.CONNECT, onConnect);
                socket.addEventListener(FlashSocketEvent.MESSAGE, onMessage);
                socket.addEventListener(FlashSocketEvent.CLOSE, onDisconnect);
                socket.addEventListener(FlashSocketEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
                socket.addEventListener(FlashSocketEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError);
            }
            protected function onConnect(event:FlashSocketEvent):void{
                trace("connect");
            }
            protected function onDisconnect(event:FlashSocketEvent):void{
                trace("disconnect");
            }
            protected function onIOError(event:FlashSocketEvent):void{
                trace("onIOError");
            }
            protected function onSecurityError(event:FlashSocketEvent):void{
                trace("onSecurityError");
            }
            protected function onMessage(event:FlashSocketEvent):void{
                trace("onMessage");
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>

</s:WindowedApplication>

As you can see I'm using FlashSocket.

My server configuration is:

io.configure( function(){
    io.enable('browser client minification');  // send minified client
    io.enable('browser client etag');          // apply etag caching logic based on version number
    io.enable('browser client gzip');          // gzip the file
    io.disable('destroy upgrade');
    io.set('log level', 3);
    io.set('transports', [
        'websocket'
      , 'flashsocket'
      , 'htmlfile'
      , 'xhr-polling'
      , 'jsonp-polling'
      ]);
});

I was receiving "destroying non-socket.io upgrade" in the server console, so I added io.disable('destroy upgrade');. I no longer get the message, but didn't help.

In the AIR app, I dont get any error, any of the event listeners is been called.

The socket.io server is running correctly, since I have an HTML client connected to it. The server is a remote server, not localhost.

Do I have to setup any security policy? I'm running the AIR app from Flash Builder.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

If you are using the FlashSocket.io 0.7.x tagged downloads then you should only have to specify the host and port in the new server line.

socket = new FlashSocket("mydomain.com:8080");

Give that a shot and see if you get any further.
