Bud....Just a thought if you use xml, you can keep your connection open for clients
using flash 5 and XMLSocket. The down fall to doing so would be cpu usage and memory.
IE:
// Create a new XMLSocket object
sock = new XMLSocket();
// Call its connect method to establish a connection with port 1024
// of the server at the URL
sock.connect("http://www.myserver.com";, 1024);
// Define a function to assign to the sock object that handles
// the server's response. If the connection succeeds, send the
// myXML object. If it fails, provide an error message in a text
// field.
function onSockConnect(success){
if (success){
sock.send(myXML);
} else {
msg="There has been an error connecting to "+serverName;
}
}
// Assign the onSockConnect function to the onConnect property
sock.onConnect = onSockConnect;
