I have mostly been working on my Flash Engines networking capabilities and have made a simple...messenger type thing. People can make a 'game' (Only differing thing is the name), join a game and then talk to each-other. There is no limit to the number of people that can be in a single 'game' at the moment but I do have functionality to limit that which I will do.

If you can't see the URL to mess around with it go to: Here. Click Play Elma and login immediately (the username and password already in the input boxes will already work) yes this does mean multiple people can be logged into the same account, but I don't really care atm.
It's pretty cool, Flash makes networking very easy with the Cirrus service, which brings me to the next part. How can I get revenue from Cirrus!? Well, I can't, it's for testing purposes only so I went searching for solutions and I found 2...
1. Use Flash Media Server on Amazon Web Services[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, SimSun-18030"][color="#004477"] [/color][/font]http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/. (pay for what you use)
2. Use open source (free) server, hosting it myself. (Which may not be strictly legal)
a) Red5 http://www.red5.org/
b) OpenRTMFP https://github.com/OpenRTMFP/Cumulus
I obviously won't have to worry about this for a while, as I will not be making any revenue from my games until they get through a lot more testing, but it is prudent to see what options I have.
