[Flashcoders] push info from server to flash?

2006-10-22 Thread Millie Niss
Is there any way to push information from a server side script (PHP) to a flash client, rather than having the Flash ask for it by calling a PHP page? I want to create a virtual world whose state will be maintained in a MySQL database. Multiple users will be able to connect, view, and

Another approach would be to create an XML file that contains the data that you want formatted, send it to a server, process it into a PDF using FOP from Apache.org. This is a very flexible solution since you separate the data from the formatting and the output can be PDF, HTML, PCL(HP Printer
