Though I am not sure what you mean when you say, “Start a Client”, I think you are in the wrong forum. Either way, could you explain what you mean a little bit more? ---

I don’t know those sites, but I looked them up to see what you are talking about. Assuming that you are pretty darn good at Flash, databases and server-side programming: basically you are going to use a database to store info about clients (login information, items they have won, and similar information), a server-side language such as PHP/Ruby/ASP.NET to get information from your database when the users login (or put information into the database when users register to the site or win a new item), and a Flash game using loadVars or a similar method to receive the information from your database/server-side language. If you are not “pretty darn good” at every one of those (again: Flash, databases, server-side programming), you may want to learn them better before you set out to try this. It’s not terribly difficult, but it’s not terribly easy either. Good luck! ---

No problem iRoy. **ActionScript Communication File:** Traditionally used for media streamed into a Flash SWF file through the Flash Communication Server. These files can be created in Flash or a text editor, are placed on the Flash Communication Server and use the .asc extension. **Flash Project:** A project file allows you to create an index for grouping related files and managing version control. This is an excellent feature for use by project team. ---
