UClient for Flash lets Flash developers create multiuser applications entirely with ActionScript, without writing a single line of server-side Java code! Its sophisticated generic framework allows for the development of any kind of multiuser application--from chat and games to business apps and art. To see what's possible, visit the Unity Application Showcase.
UClient for Flash consists of an ActionScript library (called uClientCore) and the following application templates for learning and extension.
