Re: [Flashcoders] multiuser flash games
You could always use FMS or Red5 ( http://osflash.org/red5 ) for this purpose as well. I also use XMPP or Jabber for real time communication with Flash. There is a great open source server and library for Flash at http://jivesoftware.org. JesterXL mentioned in an earlier email that he's using a Jabber implementation that's hosted by dreamhost. From what he told me it's working fine with Flash after he had to configure a few things with the XIFF library. Anyway, I hope these tips help. Good luck! -Chris On 2/16/06, Oleg Kolokolov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I once dealt with Oregano (www.oregano-server.org) server. Also a pretty good solution. I liked it.

Hello Rich, I have used it so far with 20 users connected and playing. (using the lite edition 50 user max) Though this has all been on a local network.

Re: [Flashcoders] multiuser flash games
Hi Rich, I'm definately biased since I'm president of Electrotank (owner of ElectroServer). But there are a few points I'd like to add for you: - You can use all features of ElectroServer for free for up to 20 simultaneous users. So it sounds like the free version would meet your needs - Latency is 99.9% dependent on the network itself. ElectroServer's typical response time is under 1 ms. It has been used to create real-time games with a lot of success with Flash games and non-Flash games. Even cell phone games. What I mentioned above (about latency) should probably apply to most server solutions. I just know that with ES the added latency is negligible.
