Online Interaction between swf files

[Skribble]

Hey guys. Im interested in knowing how to get 2 swf files to interact over a server. Lets just say there is a button on screen and you can click it on and off. I want anyone who has the swf loaded to be able to turn it on and off at will and when they do, it does on all the other uses computers as well.

I know actionscript pretty exstensivly and I started learning PHP and XML last week, im finding it pretty easy so far.

Any information/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

FlashCom would definatley be an option - http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashcom/

you could also check out my Java server to be used in combination with the XMLSocket class: http://jsites.no-ip.com/jServer/

Is there a way to do it through PHP/Flash alone?

yes... but it would require a mySQL database and it would not be overly efficient
