ABSTRACT
Server, Adobe has created a service called Stratus (in Beta as of this writing) that provides users with a unique 64-character ID — called a peer ID — that allows any two Flash 10 clients to connect over the web. Because it is not a multiple-user server in the sense of FMS, no communication is routed through Stratus. It simply provides the unique identifi er and the information on how to connect to other machines of any connected client. Once a client has an ID, it is up to the user to spread that ID to others, either through a back-end service or some other more direct form of communication. We will be doing the latter, in order to focus as much as possible on the Flash portion and not the other components involved.
