Thank you David.  Unfortunately, AIR won't be an option for me in this case - another technology that I'm very much looking forward to digging into.  Basically, what I am working with is this:

We've embedded the adobe flash player into a 3Dengine. We are using flash to create a HUD and a bunch of Tools for in-world use, but they must be .swf files just like you would create for running on the web. My question is, is it possible to run xiff from a remote server outside of a web-browser - i.e. the jabber server resides on a remote server while the xiff clients run from within a local desktop app - or does the xiff client need to reside on the same server as the jabber server?

Kind of muddy wordy but it is the end of a very long day of coding and clients on this end :-)...

Thank you for your input.

Phil

Hi David,

Thank you.  That is very helpful and I figured that I'd have to get some sort of crossdomain.xml deal going....   I'm happy to hear that that is the only restriction.

Is there a place that I can find some tutes, docs or examples?

Thanks,

Phil
