I want to create a very simple and basic chat application. I imagine the user accessing the application in a website, two windows, one for entering text and another for viewing.

In Director there is a very straightforward way to accomplish communication using the multiuser server - is there an equivalent for Flash MX?

If not, how do I go about resolving the communication? Is php and sql the only way to go?
