Thanks for your advice, you have helped me by asnwering my question.=0D
=0D
to your question, i am to developed a java program that will be able to
capture request from a server end to manipulate a character movements via
the flash movie on the front end. =0D
=0D
Its like you send a text msg via a form, the form data wil be transmitted
over to the server and processs the the message. After processing, the fl
ash
movie will update the screen for relevant result.=0D
=0D
And initially i have thought of using a database as a common communicatin
g
point.. but realised that it was a very expenive intensive IO operation,t
hus
 abandoning the idea.=0D

Hi Melvin,=0D

Yes, you have to write a client movie in Flash that comunicates with a
backend server=0D
(written in Java or other language). that manages the socket comunication
=2E
This system=0D
is useful for real time and multiuser serving. If you only have to exchan
ge
data between=0D
the Flash movie and the Java programa, you may use an intermediate file, 
or
databate to=0D
read/write from.=0D
=0D
Exactly what you need to do?=0D
