Hi! Sorry if I post this in wrong forum.
I want to make a .swf flash-file where people on different computers can write a nickname for themselves, press ENTER, and then see each others.
--
Each player will control a simple square with their arrow keys. They can just move it around.
The document will be 550x400 in dimensions.
--
Each player will be able to see the squares of the other players. The other players squares will move around in real-time. Ergo the players are playing with each others (like a simple multiplayer game, over Internet).
--
The different players will not be able to play against each others on the same computer, I cannot stress that enough. The point of the flash file is Internet (online) Multiplayer.
If possible I would like this little game to be without the user having to install a browser plugin or something.

> So, my question is:
What technology/method should I use in order to do this simple yet real-time online multiplayer game in flash?
--
I need to learn this for a school project. If I can make a .swf file that does this simple little online multiplayer game I can use the same method in other flash applications (games), maybe add so that the squares can shoot on each others.
I know this (the thing I'm after) is possible because I've seen flash files where users on different computers can draw pictures and see the picture while it's being drawn. Also I have seen a RPG in flash where you can see the other people moving around in real-time. I sadly can't remember the links to these things, sorry.

I am using Macromedia Flash 8.
Any thoughts, links and help is deeply appreciated.
Thank you very much!
