Don't worry though, I glared in a mirror for you :) Can I repost this with a link back to yours on my site? So excited!

Although I was in the same class as you and I don't remember many parties or drinks, maybe I just wasn't cool enough to get invited. There were lots more than just occasional assessments though I never planned for them but still beat you in most... then again, you're gainfully employed while I've worked in retail for 5 years, so maybe you're right about the importance of planning after all. Ah, memories! What assessment did you set? That’s awesome! Although I was in the same class as you and I don’t remember many parties or drinks, maybe I just wasn’t cool enough to get invited.

You can conceivably edit save.php so that instead of straight-up changing the values in the database, it first reads the number of TV's you have, and subtracts it by the variable you send through Flash. I'm no PHP expert, but there are good tutorials for it here: <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/</a> goodluck! the method in this tutorial was a very basic ‘post’ function, so all it does is it asks ‘save.php’ to handle all the variables I’m sending it.

What basically happens, is you click the "buy" button and it subtracts the value of 1 from the database field. So If I bought a TV, it would subtract 1 from the TV field. Can the above method be used to do this and how? Thanks Hi,

Extro Interactive used it for a <a href="http://www.extro.com.au/case-studies/viral-game-for-ea-nfs-chase" rel="nofollow">multiplayer racing game </a>for EA. And for amateurs, the bonus is there's a free version for up to 20 concurrent users. I can highly recommend SmartFox server. Extro Interactive used it for a multiplayer racing game for EA.
