I havn't understood exactly what you want to do, but in general I would suggest that you send ALL you update-information only once in a SINGLE postnettext command (as a long list of post-variables) to your ASP-script, and then let the ASP-script do all the updates based on the recieved data.

Hi Grimm... Yes! I did this exact thing a few years back. If you're considering the parallaxed content to be bitmaps, I'd *think* 3d is not the way to go because you would have to use larger bitmaps to make up the distance difference the further away from the camera they are. I used 2d, three
