I'm curious to ask... Is Flash capable of real time updates? Like, to the second?

Here's what I've been thinking about doing...
A simplistic sprite type game, with only a few action scripts attributed to it. Is it possible to have more than one person, using the same map, play together?

Just wondering if some one has actually developed something that complex in Flash, or what it would take to make something like it.

If you want to do that youll need to learn some other code languages first. I dont think AS can do that on its own.

You can use Flash Communication Server to do stuff like that. Depending on the amount of info being transferred, you can do near real-time stuff.

Dont Worry just keep learning and eventually you will master it. But yeah... until then it will be a bit of a pain in the arse :)

hmmm.....ive been able to chats that dont lag at all with just flash, php, and mysql. I don't know much about flash communication server. Do most servers support it? If anyone could give me a bit of an intro to it, it'd be greatly appreciated :D
