I’m interested in learning how to make flash apps that can send and recieve data to a server, but I know virtually nothing about networking and I want to change that. Whats a good place to start? My goal at the moment is to make a flash app where two people can go to a website and play tic tac toe (would this be possible with geocities btw, or would i need to get real hosting? Or could i use my personal computer as a temporary server?)
