You can create an account that allows 3 people to connect... for free (has this changed?). By tall order¹ I mean...
1. You cannot view a users desktop from Flash, Flex, or AIR 2. You cannot control the users computer (keyboard/mouse) from Flash, Flex, or AIR The only exception to this is Acrobat Connect which uses a custom plugin to accomplish that feat. The only other alternative is to roll your own solution with a wrapper like Merapi to give you access to OS screen/input hooks which could be passed to AIR. A serious engineering effort to be sure. Flash <-> flash sharing (i.g. whiteboard) is possible if that is what you are trying to do... other than that you are out of luck. Have you looked at Flash VNC? http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2005/11/flashvnc-released.cfm Alternatively, you could roll a hybrid solution: use Teamviewer for the remote viewing / control and then create a flex app that does all your custom pod stuffs.
