how do you make a online multi game

[project-ctrl]

Is there anyway to create a online game [ like runescape or some sort ] with flash?

liike...make your own account sign in a play and stuff like that if you know

PLEASE TELL AND I SHALL GRANT YOU WITH CREDIT and a free membership yay....thats if I charge [ which I probley wont ]

PS: the game is called project control its gona be big , if it gets made.
the object of the game is to take over other contries with play by play multi action
meaning, you acually verus them while there accualy one versuing you! fun huh? and if you get taken over you have to build a new community..and you loose all your ..what ever you had BUT! dont worry no one will be able to attack you until your no longer a noob [ only to stop people from calling you noob alll day long ]

think this would be a good game?

[Xcyper33]

Dont think you can make anything that massive with flash. Try using freeware software.

The thing is, will you be able to make it?

Runscape is done with java, not flash. Moreover, the amount of severs and script necessary to run a game that complex is way out of your league. But that is just my kickass opinion.

[project-ctrl]

Something like rpgmaker 2.0 tryed..dont understands squat of it unless some one would like to teach meeee : }}}

[Vengeance]

shut up n00b. This is way out of your league. Don't even bother trying.

[project-ctrl]

True.. It is out of my league ..But hey it dosnt hurt to dream..maybe I can make it with some help of ones who have already done it....I mean ..How do you suppose you figured out flash. I highly doubt that it was just by turning on the computer and start typing AS's randomely

If you can't understand rpgmaker, you could never understand flash, let alone java.

Annnnnnnyways , if anyone knows please tell

No, i used logic. I took a tutorial. Nowhere in the tutorial did it explain online mulitplayers, no tutorial would. Because anyone who know's how to make one wouldn't tell.
Online muliplayers are complex, lets go through psuedo-code to see what it has to do.
locate server
connect to server
send data to server
recieve data from server
<check all your code stuff here>
send data to server
recieve data from server.
...
....
.....
disconnect from server
update the fact that theres 1 less person in the server
connect to new server
<repeat>

There is a multiplayer-game, called "Stick Arena". It is made with flash

[Shinki]

So is dofus.

Basically, you'd need extremely good AS knowledge, you'd need to know XML/PHP/ASP/CGI pretty damn well too, you'd need access to a domain or server that could handle the multi-players. By no means impossible, and certainly on my 'to-do' list at some point, but as the others have said, I seriously doubt whether you have the skills or knowledge required. If you have, or if you can develop them, then good luck...

I suggest trying to actually create a small game engine in flash just to get some perspective of what your actually asking for.

Something like this, while possible, would be ridiculous to do with Flash. Flash just isn't made for such things, and the amount of resources it would take (A TON of servers) would be minimized much if you used Java or something.

Good luck :)

I don't think you're quite ready for multiplayer online yet ;)

It does actually have potential, but it requires a LOT more work before you consider turning it into a multiplayer game.
