vars accross local network?

[umbrella]

Hello,

I am building an installation with two flash projectors, one's a control interface that the user enters information from and the other displays the user's output from this info.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about passing variables locally between projectors on two different comps, but on the same local network .. don't know if this sounds silly?

I was going to use PHP and write a text file when an output has been sent and then constantly read from that file to pass data to the other projector? seems to me like a decent solution but i'd like something more efficent. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

I think that would be the simplest way.

You could look at the PHP swf functions maybe there is a way of making the PHP file invoke a function so you dont have to keep asking for it on an interval . Might be worth a look.
