Live data transfer = Huge bandwidth consumption

[thenewa2x]

I've created a simple Flash app that would allow people to move boxes around and see other people move theirs. I've been using XML to do the data exchange but it slows down tremendously when more than 2 or 3 people are using it. Is there a more efficient way to transfer data from Flash to a server and vice versa?

Here is also another question, is it possible for Flash to act as a client and server? This way a Flash client would directly connect to another and exchange data without a middle-man server.

Here is yet another question on top of that, are there any sockets in MX 2004 Pro other than XML?
