This is where I would assume FCS comes into play? But even then, you could just use remoting to do the same thing. We were having a chat here about offline apps, as we are doing something similar, but with a 3rd party VB(yech!) app, and throwing around a bit of XML. It is working quite well, but I would have loved to have got my hands really dirty into the Flash game. I just can't think of a way to store the complexity of data that we are dealing with without SOME sort of DB. Flat files just aren't going to cut it. Just some thoughts :o) Mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 3094740 Safe From Bees [www.safefrombees.com] --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
