Hi guys, first post so play nice =)

Just wondering if anyone could help me with making a multiplayer flash game using as2? Ive created a game and a socket connection (java) for a chat program im pretty confident with as2 but not so much with java.

I really need help with the basics: Moving a character on one client, notifying the server then applying the change for the receiving client.

Ive come up with this:  
_XMLSocket.prototype.onData = function(msg) {  
if (msg == (“move\_left”)) {  
move\_left(); }_

Sadly it isnt this simple, so was just wondering if someone could give me some code hints to get started  
Thanks  
Dan
