Q:

AS3 Sync Data to Email

I am making an mobile app in flash cc. I will make the pc version of the app also. The app saves some data as an object. I want that if I change some data in the mobile app, I will get the changed data in the pc version also. My brother told me that I can sync the data to email to do the job.
How can I sync data to an email and get the synced data back in as3? If I can't, is there any other way to achieve the goal?
Thanks in advance.

A:

You haven't provided much detail, but I can tell you that this probably isn't your best solution.
Email can't be used as a transparent sync layer. In other words, it will require the user to open the email and do something. Using a server is much better because then you can sync data without requiring the user to do anything besides use your app. You can also use existing syncing services like DropBox.
As for syncing by email, what you could do is create a file association which contains plain-text data (safe for email), such as JSON or XML. Then when a user receives an email they open the file, which will invoke your app with the file reference, and you can read the file.
