Hi,

I want to make an online multiplayer game (computer vs computer, not 2 player with one keyboard) in flash.  
Something simple like tic tac toe but not with php because it’s too slow for other type of games.  
I know it’s not easy but I have no idea where to start. Maby someone has experience, knows a good book/site… I only worked with Flash MS/AS.

Thanx

Multiuser needs sockets…or Flash Com Server!

You are going to have to use php or asp or some other server side script which can communicate with flash. Otherwise there is no way you can update what one player does to the other player. You might search the forum for information on shoutboxes as they kind of do what you want (pass information in real time as it updates) they may give you a start.

Flashkit had a huge thread on this

Go to flashkits boards, then go to the games forum and look foe a sticky there, if its no longer stuck, do a search. It was called something like massive multiplayer thread or something. Im sure thres a lot in that that could be helpful
