Antine know how I would go about sharing a specific desktop windows so that an invited user can view and interact with what i'm doing ?

note this needs to be some sort of web based thing so cannot use vlc or windows sharing thingy.

Something similar to Adobe Breeze, where you've got a flash white board that you can draw on and this is shared with multiple users.

not even sure where to start :(
 
Free or commercial?

I did know a free one but sounds like Citrix GoToMeeting is the sort of thing you're after.

I've just completed a desktop sharing project for work so know a bit if you have any questions.

Microsoft LiveMeeting is also good but initially expensive to deploy.
 
Potentially it could be either but realistically it's got to be bordering on free as I’ve got to produce a demo to go along with a business proposal.

About the only commercial tech I’ve got access to for this is a Flash Com Server so it needs to be produced in flash.

I've found a whiteboard on the macromedia website and they provide the source code for it. According to the docs for it, it can allow user collaboration over multiple machines but I’ve yet to try it. So might give that a go as if it works it’s got the foundations of what I need.

But ignoring the above I'd very much appreciate your opinions on alternatives as in the business plan I’ve got to justify what I use, so I’ve got to look at alternatives (both free and commercial)

So far you've mentioned
- Citrix GoToMeeting
- Microsoft LiveMeeting

Any more you can think of?
If you have to go looking on the net etc to find more don't worry mate you've already got me going in the right direction.
