Director user wanting to share a bitmap between users

Question

Hi..

I've created a simple paint application using Director (and
convereted into a Shockwave DCR) - what I want to do is allow other
users to see this, if they're using the application also. I'm not
used to flash, and do not want to redesign the program. Also, the
Whiteboard feature with Flash Media Server seems crappy and slow.
What's the handiest way for me to share a bitmap with other users
using Flash Media Server?

I really wish there was still support for the Multiuser
Server.

Thanks,
Cormac

You wouldn't use FMS to share the bitmap per se, but rather, you'd use it to inform all of the connected clients of the location of the image file, and have the flash client download it via http.

I like to use a shared object for this, but I suppose you could just as well use a server side property and a client/server function that passes the data around.
