Hi Anthony, Well, I don't think flash has P2P connectivity, so you must rely on some sort of server technology to do your job.
AS3 does have the ability to perform socket programming (look in flash.netpackage ). However you will need some kind of server to open the socket to. The most commonly and widely used servers ( i believe ) must be the Flash Media Server and the Opensource Red 5 server. ( Both of these are more powerful than u might need, since they serve streaming video/audio). U might also want to take a look at Flash Remoting Technology, which if works u might not need sockets at all.
