The best Flash games book I've read (and there have been many) is FlashMX Game Design Demysified (years old now) by Jobe Makar. Since I read the book I've met Jobe many times and he is now a friend who I respect greatly. It's his company that makes ElectroServer, so I thought it would be worth checking out. I'm very interested to see how it compares with the other alternatives, so i'll continue to report my findings. Hi Bill,

I tried putting together a multi-user game using Smart Fox Server a couple years ago, but ran into too many frustrating roadblocks to get it deployed over my holiday time. Being a Flash guy, the server-side is out of my comfort zone and I ran into many similar installations issues that you had. I appreciate you posting your solutions to all the "gotchas". You've inspired me to get my own project off the back burner. Just out of curiosity, would you mind commenting on why you chose ElectroServer over some of the other multi-user offerings?
