peer-to-peer

[lya]

Hi,

has anybody tried to establish a peer to peer connection between flash movies on different machines?

Local and Remote Shared Objects doesn't work for that issue, do they?

However, is there another possibility (than a client-server communication over the comm server) to communicate between several movies (without a central server media)?

Hope anyone has some advices for me :)

Thanks,
lia

direct P2P isn't possible. You'll need to set up an XMLSocket server to route the data between the two peers.

If somebody else knows of a way I'm dying to hear it : )

Really the only way I can think of would be to have the end-users install something to handle XMLSocket communication. For example you could install something like the Rebel COM dll on each machine and have the activeX control embedded in the webpage pass data to each user's flash movie. It would be cleaner to run the socket server in a centralized location and pass the data between clients that way, in my opinion.

thanks a lot for the answer!
I feared that there's no other way..
i'll let you know if I try to realize it :)
