Hi
I’m wanting to know which method would be most server friendly when using XML. I’ve recently made a semi-live application that uses the XML.load method, it basically loads in the XML every 10 seconds on a loop and depending on whats in the XML the flash does different actions etc.
I’m fairly new to XML and have seen that I can use XML sockets that opens up a constant connection to the server, that way when I make changes to the XML it should have an immediate effect rather than waiting for the loop to come back around.
The only problem is I’m not certain which method would be better for the servers…say if I built an app that used XML sockets and 30,000 + people viewed it all at once would the servers crash or is it better to just use the XML.load way?
Any help here would be appreciated as I’m new to this sort of thing.
Thanks
