You could use PHP/XML/Java/JavaScript/ACTIONSCRIPT (of course).

[bombsledder]

yes i mean like when someone is playing they could like meet up with someone and like talk and see there character. if this is possible with actionscript or javascript or something simple can you please tell me how to so this..

and thanks for the quick reply

Talking to someone, like a chat? PHP/XML...lot's of coding though. Use PHP, works like a charm for me.

Seeing their character? Impossible with flash because I doubt any code can pass drawings and art to another person and actually be able to view it. Cokemusic.com does this (drools) but they use shockwave, with shockwave you can do ANYTHING.

But then again, it might be possible. Once a person makes his character, there should be a variable for each body part (e.g head1, head2). Then, it passes these vars to the other person, and then flash reads this and uses movieclips to replace vars and shows the character.

- DIFFICULT!

well i dont know how to download php and comfigure and stuff but anyhow how do u use shockwave? is that like another scripting program or is that an easier thing for like maybe programming newbies?

thanks
