Nigel,Thankyou - I am in the picture now.I appreciate it is difficult to conceive or conceptulise what patterns and needs might emerge at this stage. Real-time collaborative interaction is a new consideration for me and describing how an object should behave whilst being under the influence of multi...

The concept of AFCS is now clear to me - and it’s looking good.Are there any specific standards regarding how collaborative interactions are defined that I should be taking into consideration?I would not want to reinvent the wheel if Adobe is planning some kind of interoperable schema. I realise 'in...

Thank you Raff.I get the picture now. I was assuming that if you could create rooms, authenticate etc from a third party server - then you could also send a 'message' to the room.Its good that you are planning it as it will open a world of possibilities.

I have had a think... about the AFCS concept and how to use it strengths.The biggest value to me is that at its core the service can manage and 'push' data to clients in real-time - which is something I currently would find impossible to do. In the initial stages of an application design I thus need...

Hello Raff,Non flex would be a small flash application for example running on a mobile phone.It does have to be chat... it could be a person submitting a photograph to the room for collaborators to use.I am not overly technical in these matters but my perception of what the AFCS is might be wrong......

Quick question!Is it possible to have a core of flex based rich interactions occuring in a 'room', but also tap into selective interactions - say only the chat to send/receive from a mobile device for example?I do realise this would be done on the server.A hypothetical example would be some users wo...

Stefan,The youtube demo works now – thanks.I appreciate what you and Raff are saying. The considerations regarding real-time data transfer is a new area for me. I am quite a cautious and conservative developer who never really goes for ‘effect’ – I will carefully assess the communicative value of an...

Thankyou Raff.I should really accept the idea that Adobe is offering a super collaboration server that can handle all this data transfer and I don't really need to think about. I need to forget about the restrictions on my own little server....... and think BIG!BTW: I am not planning the next killer...

During the intial design stages of a project it would be useful to know what aspects of the AFCS are the most network intensive, and perhaps the most likely areas to cause delayed collaboration responses. I am asking this because there seems so many tempting 'rich' interactions made readily availabl...

Stefan,That would be very very helpful.I started with puremvc only last year and it has really helped me tidy up my approach to application design. Although it did take me a long time to get my head around everything.... particularly pipes. Very clever stuff.No pressure for the post! I am currently ...
