Hi everyone,

I am involved in a project where we intend to create multi-player e-learning simulations. We are currently doing this in C++, but are excited about the new possibilities that have arisen with Flash MX and are wondering whether this is now the best product to create our simulations.

I need to know how easy it is to have a client-side application developed in Flash to interface with a server-side object orientated database. Also, I'd like to know Flash's capabilities (and perhaps the limits of these capabilities) to do complex calculations on entered variables. We intend to have multiple users, up to 2,000-3,000, logged in at a time, so we need to know how much this will affect the server speed under this model of development.

Thanks for your help,
Kind regards,
Tasha
