I have been playing flash games for a while, and I decided to give it
a try. A third person RPG. Multiple swf files (zones), and a databases
for saving to and calling from information, and I was wondering how
some othes handled something.

In a multi-user game, how do you go about telling user "A" where user
"B" and user "C" is in the game? Would you do this by making a
database call to see if your position in the map matches anyone else
in the database? If they match display user? How would you handle
this?
