For classroom, how do I actually able to remotely control 100's PC from a master application? Like control the student who also using Flex application is possble with XMLsocket?
I found some software use Mac address which allow the master application to access but I don't know what is need to build. Need guidance.

I would also consider the peer-2-peer route, its probably the quickest and easiest way to get up and running. Apart from all the Adobe documentation, take a look at the HydraP2P library. It is very much beta quality, and the Command package doesn't make a lot of sense (AMF deserializing should be handled in the usual manner), but it should give you a headstart. A couple of Adobe evangelists have blogs that contain examples.
If you want to stick with a client/server model, with Air you can very easily create a socket server, there's an article here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/creating_socket_server.html

You can also check out the group features in Adobe Cirrus. If you are all on the same LAN, you don't need a server.

You can do it in more then a couple of ways 1. XMLSocket - activate a function on the client's machines 2. Flash Media server - working with invoking methods inside the client's code. 3. BlazeDS - consumer producer
you have more, you can simply select the one suits you and just roll with it.
