Hi,

I am not sure if this exactly will help you but you can use SharedObject class to store data shared by different clients. With this you can also achieve synchronization. Below link has the details about SharedObject class:

Also, following link has an example which shows how to synchronize users and store data using SharedObject:

Hello Chandan_Abhishek,

Yes, I am using the shared objects to synchronize the data between clients in a specific room in a game, but do the fms can have concurrent request to update the same shared object from different rooms.

PS: Please let me can I use lock() and unlock() mechanism for my problem.

Thanks,

Yes, fms can have concurrent request to update the same shared object.

Also, you can use lock () and unlock() methods of SharedObject but these methods are only in server side language reference. Following is the link for the same:
