Ahmed.

Very impressive! Would you mind explaining how you did it?

*Edit. Ok, I re-read and saw you included the source files, but for posterity and to bask in my own stupidity I will leave my above question.*

could you have it write the information to a file, and have another window on another computer pull the info.. If you did that and allowed the info to go both ways you could have to people drawing and the other seing it, maybe have two colors.

lol :beam:

yup, LocalConnections are pretty cool and useful :), i made that file just to test them. Basically, you define function in the reciever file, and call it from the sender file. The hardest part really was to get the javascript to pop-up two windows :-P (i used lost's ever-so-famous pop-up script)

a LocalConnection work on the same machine. To connect swfs over different machines togerther, you would use a NetConnection, and that requires FlashComm hosting and stuff, not as simple :)

Or, to connect other machines together you could use XMLSocket, but that requires advanced server-side java and other stuff...

thought this game might interest you >>iSketch<< (http://www.isketch.net)

why? i love mine (same one as jubba) but it makes a little noise when it blocks one, so when it blocked one of yours i just turned it off. so it was easy.

Excellent work man, I told ya you were a server-side flash genius!

I didn't download the files, but I can tell you right now I know how it was done, just never thought about doing it :)
