Flash AS3 Data Parsing - Need Help

I am having a terrible parsing data from the Arduino to Flash. Using Serproxy. Using AS3 and XMLSocket I have no problems at all. But I need to send writeMultiByte and writeByte and that can't be done with XMLSocket. Below is my code and everything is okay until I get to the part where I need to parse the data. I just don't know what to do to parse it.

The format my data coming back in is n: n /r/n. So when I look at a trace of the data using XMLSocket it might look something like this...

6: 1

4: 100

t: 345

a5: 3456

And so on. Data keeps coming until I stop it. I cannot use a character count since it changes. What I need to do is parse on the /r/n or maybe it is just a /r?

Can someone show me how to get the data and parse it to a trace. From there I can manage the data accordingly.

Here is my testing AS3 code.

import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

var socket=new Socket();
socket.connect("127.0.0.1",5331);

socket.addEventListener( Event.CLOSE , onClose );
socket.addEventListener( Event.CONNECT , onConnect );
socket.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , onIOError );
socket.addEventListener( ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA , onData );
socket.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR , onSecurityError );
            
                  
//socket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, dataHandler);

engage_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, engage);  //start race button

length_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, lengthSet);

function onData ( event:ProgressEvent ):void
        {
            var nb : uint = socket.bytesAvailable;
            trace("bytesAvailable: "+nb);
  
            var input:String = String(socket.readUTFBytes(socket.bytesAvailable));
            trace(input);

// How can I parse the data?
      
            }

function receiveData(msg:String):void {
            trace("Message received: " + msg);

        }
            
function engage(event:MouseEvent)
{
      socket.writeMultiByte( "g", "us-ascii" );
      socket.flush();
}

function lengthSet(event:MouseEvent)
{
      socket.writeMultiByte( "l", "us-ascii" );
      socket.writeByte( 1 )
      socket.writeByte( 1 );
      socket.writeMultiByte( "\r", "us-ascii" );
      
      socket.flush();
}

function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
        trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
    }


function xmlsocket(Event):void
{
      switch(Event.type){
            case 'ioError':
            trace("Error");
            break;
            case 'connect':
            trace("Connected");
            break;
            case 'close':
            trace("Closed");
            break;
      }
}

function onClose ( event:Event ):void
        {
            trace( "onClose: " + event );
        }
        
function onIOError ( event:IOErrorEvent ):void
        {
            trace( "onIOError: " + event );
        }
        
function onSecurityError ( event:SecurityErrorEvent ):void
        {
            trace( "onSecurityError " + event );
        }
function onConnect ( event:Event ):void
        {
            trace( "onConnect" );
            }
