Those two responses are not in conflict handleRequest() is handled by a single thread. We do recommend to synchronize only objects that really need it, because many applications spawn additional threads / timers / setIntervals which of course might contend a shared resource. Just that :) Will all us...

You should create a small FLA that connects to SFS and talks to a custom extension. This way you can retrieve all the stats that you need. or... alternative idea: Write a custom extension that writes the stats to a database table or xml file every 1 minute or so. Then load this data from your PHP pa...

A server crash happens when the server halts due to an error and is unable to respond. This is far from a server crash ... it is just a client error :) And it's caused by the Flash Player security mechanism. It complains that it can't access the local file config.xml because the SWF settings indicat...

I think it would be a great idea if you explicitly say that you need a webserver in order to set up your SFS to allow outside connections, on top of the crossdomain.xml.

You should use an approach similar to the one shown in our "Pixel Game" example. Room variables would use too much bandwidth in this case, so it's highly recommended to use the Raw/String Protocol. Your extension could then store the drawing data to a database or plain xml file. Also check...

Yes... but it is not recommended.
You should be able to split the logic of your Zone extension / class into multiple classes instead of using more extensions.
About DBManagers, you can create as many as you want within the same Zone Level extension
