I’m doing a project to create a flash chat that will be expanded into a flash world next phase, and will eventually need video and audio for additional phases. Its no secret I’m a fms fan boy, by I’ve been trying to find cheaper alternatives because honestly, while fms by me fine to develop with, the pricetag isn’t worth it.
I looked at electro server a few months ago when it was still version 3, but now it looks really promising. check it out. I’ll try and write a basic tut once i get some free time. (famous words) till then check it out:

Give smartfox a try - its documentation and examples are a lot better, it has video and audio being added soon. The electroserver documentation is a nightmare, and half the examples don’t work. If you want something simple for socket purpose have a look at palabre too.

Hey man i agree the documentation is crazy, not to mention some functions only work at certain times, but overall its really sweet.
my biggest issue is lack of tuts / walk throughs, very little examples, etc. I’ve found out that if you go to the actual class file they have a simple usage example there usually.
If electroserver gets more tuts and code out there i call see more people migrating to it.
