What versions of Flash are supported by ElectroServer
3? |
|
|
|
|
ElectroServer
3 is compatible with any version of Flash that can connect to
a socket-server. That means that it will work with Flash 5 and
later versions. However, we have only written ElectroServer
ActionScript classes for Flash MX and Flash MX 2004. The ElectroServer
class is an ActionScript class that makes it really easy to
communicate with ElectroServer. |

How many users can connect at the same time to ElectroServer 3? |
|
|
|
|
Honestly? We don't know! We've load tested ElectroServer 3 with as many as 10,000 concurrent connections. So far we have not discovered any limit. You are more likely to run out of system resources than see an ElectroServer issue due to high load. |

|
Can I run ElectroServer 3 on my PC? |
|
|
|
|
In
general, you can only run ElectroServer on your PC for testing
purposes. This is because (in general) users from around the
Internet will not be able to connect to your PC to play games.
It is common to run ElectroServer locally while developing an
application, and then upload to your website when complete.
