Is it possible to use remote shared objects through a LAN connection in AS3? I do have Flash Media Server available, but as far as I know a server isn't required when accessing the LAN.
In order to connect to the LAN, I'm using NetConnection with RTMFP:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmfp:"); //Connect to LAN
Since I'm developing a multiplayer game, the usage of remote shared objects is important to communicate with each client (usually done with assistance through sever-side code), but remote shared objects cannot be created through a LAN connection using SharedObject.getRemote():
Error: Error #2134: Cannot create SharedObject.
At first the option of using NetGroup.post() method seemed almost viable, but according to Adobe's documentation "posting is not similar to using shared objects... posting does not manage changes".
Is there an alternative to using remote shared objects through a LAN connection? Since the game has a real-time environment, updates would be fired continuously throughout gameplay (i.e. a player's X and Y coordinates).
