Here is, without any warranties, a much more complex example game than those you find in the Flash Combo Package.

The game is a multiplayer asteroids game and can be tried here [Broken]
The code can be downloaded at [Broken]

Edit:
Just realized that maintaining this game via a zip file on my website will get tiresome fast.
Therefore there is now a google code repository for just this game.

Get it here: https://code.google.com/p/multiplayer-asteroids/

Updated, see edit!

Its a good game, and should provide a great example for how to make your own.

THANKS, its AWESOME!

Awesome example, but for those who are going to use it as a base for their game, you better move the hit/death detection to the server from the client, because clients get "hacked" by their users.

Or there will be users that won't tell the other users when they died

I wrote the game as an example of how to use synchronized time-stamps and interpolation to created synchronized realtime worlds. I had no plans of actually turning into a real game, but got caught in the development processes so I decided to just implement shooting quick and dirty.

This also explains why the game is open source. I expect to implement the shooting on the server using time slicing quite soon but I would be more than happy to share the development load with more people.

And yes the code is not pretty and mostly uncommented, I will ensure that this gets better for each release.

Glad you like the example however!
