    You don't even need <cfhttp...>. All a schedule task is is a scheduled
    call to an URL. That url does not have to be local.

    Yeah I was thinking about those 2 things.

    The thing is, is that its a game I am making and people get $100 dollars every hour. It updates the time on their screen from the server saying i.e. "you get paid in 38 minutes" My local machine time differs from my coldfusion servers time and I want it to be consistant, if the user is going to get paid, they better get paid THAT SECOND.

    I was just wondering what other way I could do it, because my work around is just basically saying
    "everytime a user logs in, activate the call to the money machine and see if its pay time."

    the problem with that is if nobody logs in, the people that are already logged in want to be paid.

    Coldfusion = backend
    Flex = Frontend

    Take a look at the cfschedule tag. Be advised that You can disable this tag in the Administrator Sandbox/Resource security page. so your host may have it disabled.
