I am an AS3 developer in that i dont use MXML frequently.
Today at work, a fairly large project was put onto the table and we need to discuss it tomorrow. Some features include: Customisable "rooms" Eventually a catalogue of items Purchase system (real money) Customisable Avatar Achievements Points Points for cash. Essentially its bigger than anything i have attempted before. One of the downsides is that the view is using: AS3/XML/php To me, this seems impossible and i feel that using simple polling techniques is destined to break down. The amount of data is going to be huge and i just feel there must be a better way to do things than trying to store information across most of these modules with variables via PHP POST..... Am i wrong here? If im wrong then id really appreciate knowing so give me a slap. It seems the best idea is to open a socket and kind of send data in binary steams. somehow pass data between client-server in a much better way. I dont know if i need a multiplayer socket server like smartfox, adobe IMS, or electroserver but the difficulty seems to be why my suggestions are not being pursued. Can anyone offer me advice? Thanks.
