Hi all,

At present I am using LoadVars to communicate between Flah Lite and my server is there a better way? I am building an applciation that needs constant information and updates, such as being able to send message to different users. At the moment I am checking all the nesaccary database info using LoadVars. This is called every 1-5secs for the different functions.

This however is far from elegant and also the data charges can add up if the app is running for a long time.

Can I use an socket driven solution? Is this possible with Flash Lite 2.0.

I am using PHP to retrieve info from a MySql database.

Thanks.
