RE: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer
It's possible to do it with the help of a 3rd party wrapper like Northcode's UDP/TCP API or even using Python Simple Socket Server. It's impossible to do a Flash Player to a remote Flash Player directly because you need some external common meeting place (like a server) to tell you that somebody is waiting to connect. Also there is nothing in Flash Player 8 or less that would let you host incomming connections as all it can do is pull stuff into the player via LoadVars or XML or XMLSocket. So I think the minute you introduce a server that acts as a directory or lobby for Flash Players to connect, your back to the old Client-Server model which is not really P2P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thomas Marbois Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 2:25 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer hi has anyone tried making a peer 2 peer client via Flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer
It is not possible. Flash cannot connect to another flash peer for security reasons. First of all, flash cannot accept incoming requests to connect. It can only generate connection requests. It is conceivable that Apollo will do p2p, but if my recollection serves me, I read that while they are considering it, it would probably not be in a first release.

Re: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer
ah yea... but IF the server is JUST a meeting spot -- could Flash clients actually host data? As long as the server is just doing the mapping of other clients its okbut what I was thinking about was having them all hold data somehow. Like - what is the internal limit for Flash plug in - receiving data? Is it browser limit? etc...
