Lastly, successful synchronization requires that a consecutive series of steps be followed for establishing shared object
names and their conditions. The Atmosphere website shows an example of this technology, and will aid greatly in
creating your own solution.
*(Note that Adobe provides a limited quantity of default server power for handling avatar, chat, and object
synchronization. See documentation elsewhere regarding).
