RE: [Flashcoders] re: self published
I see. Thanks for the knowledge Thomas. Sounds to me like an XML socket is the way to go. Good Luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] re: self published
Good luck Thomas. From a high-level perspective, your "server flash element" can create a localconnection to receive, and your "client flash element" can do the sending. In the data can be the type of action required, allowing for a switch statement to route it properly, as well as the data itself (XML or whatever). Keep in mind that localconnections of the same name will break if both are open at the same time. If you have concurrent instances of your application open, you'll observe this problem.

To: "Flashcoders mailing list" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be possible to make a connection between servers using LocalConnection. You'd have to ensure your client swf was assigned an id to "authenticate" their application to access the data. There would have to be a security model, in other words. Once again I've never done this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm sure interesting things are possible if they are sophisticated enough to drop a crossdomain.xml to give you the ability to distribute components that interact with your data. In this case I have to say Flash would make a compelling choice for your idea. Mike - thanks mikeIm still digging into finding out if it can do what i want. I think it can - but I just dont know the implementation details or the subtle security issues that cause communication to flash to be difficult. Basically if I can push some data thru to the client using either XML or another method - and recieve data back to my servers - then Im set. The only other issues i have to research are security of data - and security of swf files for decompile -- which I saw was possibly with an encryption software.
