Hi, for a while now i’ve been looking to create a multiplayer game in flash. I’ve read most things out there and i seems i need to use sockets, and a server. I’ve found lots of them(socket servers), and download but have no idea how im meant to use them.

I cant seem to find much about them on the internet. If anyone could help me wiht this subject in any way i would be most gratefull

Im not sure which im using, from what i’ve seen though i think the unity server looks the best.

I haven’t done any experiments yet with the unity server, although i was willing to. The server’s API is a bit confusing to that of ElectroServer. It depends on your budget afterall, but I would rather work with a simple, easy-to-use API like the ElectroServer’s 🙂
