can remoting be used to create a chat room style application? Specifically I
want a programme (probably a Director one) to call remoting and transmit some
commands to as eries of around 20 computers. Is this possible and
straightforward or shoudl I be looking at something else to do this?

Hi,
Ive recently purchased flash remoting and I am in progress with a chat app
using flash for the interface and asp.net and sql server with remoting at the
back - you can watch my progress at www.in2aspnet.com - the version running at
the moment is the pure asp.net version, im currently designing the flash
interface and getting up to speed with remoting - which is working just dandy.
im very impressed so far.
I'll keep you posted if you like. My plan is to offer a hosted chat solution
when complete and maybe a e-download version that you can host/deconstruct for
educational purposes etc.

Thats good to know. Mainly insterested in how you handle the broadcasting of data to all people loged into the chat room?

:D
Ive updated my ASP.Net version so no more screen flicker or page refreshes.
I'll keep you posted with the flash version.
the only difference will be the flash interface - the engine will still be
asp.net - with flash remoting doing the fetching and carrying.
www.In2Aspnet.com - watch for updates.

hi MCR -0 sorry I failed to answer your question, so here goes.
Simply the method i use is assign each loged user an ID, a function then calls
a aspx component on the server to return the mesdageas to that ID or all
messages if  the message is a public broadcast. - each user/client is a flash
swf

I am also interested to know how can remoting broadcast a single message to
multiple users via asp.net. First I would need to register each swf file to a
single .aspx page. and this page, on a new message event trigger (somebody
wrote a message) then the .aspx page would BROADCAST this message to all
registered users. Is this possible ?
