Hi everyone!  
I have long since I tried [www.habbohotell.com](http://www.habbohotell.com), how would I make something like this? it uses Shockwave I think, what is Shockwave?

I thought that I could have everything work just with like a MySQL database, and just storing all the X and Y positions, but maybe that wouldn’t work, where should I start? I control flash,AS and PHP, do I have to learn anything more?

Thank you all!
