I see. Thanks for the knowledge Thomas. Sounds to me like an XML socket is the way to go. Good Luck! Matthew

Why must your utility communicate with your servers? Why would you not create your utility and make it available via the exchange as a component instead? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- - its a game or utility that allows real-time interaction with others. - my server PUSHES data to your screen. - its not designed for Flash developers to add into the site - its designed for anyone with a moderate level of html skills to self publish into a site. - I may instead GIVE a URL link for them to embed or copy into their site - but I want to know the benefits or cons for either method. method a = embed a SWF in someones own domain and communicate with it -- push data to it -- via XML socket? method b = GIVE someone a referenced URL link that they embed into their own site. Does that make sense? regards Tj _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
