I was wondering if there is a framework for determining if an AIR application has been opened by more than one person on a network?
I have a data file that the AIR application opens and allows editing for. Works great, however instances of the application all open the same data file. The chances are slim that more than one person will be accessing that single data file at a time, but I think I need to allow for detection and alert a user that someone else is also accessing the data & therefore they could stomp on each other's changes. I was going to use a simple XML file and when the app loads, check a value in the XML. Each time someone opens the app, it checks the number and adds 1 to it & writes to the XML. Each time the app (instance) is quit, it decrements the number until 0 (no one else is accessing). Not sure if this is a good approach or not since it's based solely on happening when one starts the application up and I was going to avoid polling the XML to see if it changed over time. So looking for an easy to implement solution to this problem. Perhaps my XML file thing is the way to go - not sure. Thanks for any insight, Eric _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
