Teamviewer is not an option since it costs $800 pr. Concurrent session. I should have been more specific, I probably need to support around 20-30 concurrent sessions. Can I launch acrobat connect in a separate "window" from within my flex app and possibly have flex listen for events in the adobe connect.. So I can force focus back to the flex app when the user closes the connect window

By 'tall order' 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.

You might want to take a look at the Acrobat Connect Collaboration Builder SDK. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobatconnect/articles/intro_sync_swf.html Cheers, Rick Winscot On 5/29/09 12:53 PM, "Allan Pichler" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all. I'm trying to find a low cost solution to do 1<->1 screen sharing/remote control, preferably inside a flex application, alternatively as a popup window. The application also need some other collaboration widgets, so I was looking at Acrobat Connect, but I can't find any information about customization of the user interface and adding new pods. Any help You can give is much appreciated! Best regards and have a nice day! Allan Pichler Brewmaster - ColdFusion/Flex/Ajax/UI
