xmlsocket flex and mac address

For classroom, how do I actually able to remotely control 100's PC from a master application? Like control the student who also using Flex application is possble with XMLsocket?

I found some software use Mac address which allow the master application to access but I don't know what is ne开发者_如何学Pythoned to build. Need guidance.

I would also consider the peer-2-peer route, its probably the quickest and easiest way to get up and running. Apart from all the Adobe documentation, take a look at the HydraP2P library. It is very much beta quality, and the Command package doesn't make a lot of sense (AMF deserializing should be handled in the usual manner), but it should give you a headstart. A couple of Adobe evangelists have blogs that contain examples.

If you want to stick with a client/server model, with Air you can very easily create a socket server, there's an article here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/creating_socket_server.html

You can do it in more then a couple of ways 1. XMLSocket - activate a function on the client's machines 2. Flash Media server - working with invoking methods inside the client's code. 3. BlazeDS - consumer producer

you have more, you can simply select the one suits you and just roll with it.

You can also check out the group features in Adobe Cirrus. If you are all on the same LAN, you don't need a server.
