I"m creating an MMO in Flash CS3. It seems like a push method for the data (in which clients connect to a script and the script notifies each client when theres a change) would be the most efficient. Does anyone know of the best way to do this? Any other suggestions, tips, or ideas about how to do this efficiently are definitely welcome. ---

Do you mean a server? ---

Well obviously I’ll have to use a server of some sort and I’ll most likely be using PHP and MySQL. I was wondering if anyone had any specific ideas on how I should go about streaming the data. ---

You’d probably have to use socket communication if you wanted an MMO. Have a look round the forums for Flash sockets tutorials
