Flash :: FMS And WMS Coexisting On Same Server

VideoError: 1000: Unable To Make Connection To Server Or To Find FLV On Server
I've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks learning Flash. I developed a Flash (swf) file that plays a Flash video (flv) with cue points. It all works very nicely locally, but when I put it on the server and try to access the html file, the Flash control is white (nothing visible) and a popup error message comes up with this error. I've looked all over the web (including non-English sites), tried playing with all the Publish settings I could think of (version check, local/network access, omit trace, enable debugging) and tried adding error handling code to the swf file itself. I've also tried changing the path for the flv file to be relative, absolute and somewhere in between, but nothing works.

Does anybody know what can cause this error?

How To Load Images From Client Side When The Swf Is Hosted On A Server Without Uplaoding It To Server?
I'm trying to build a online image resize tool.
problem i face are:

1. I build a button that allow user to browse the file. Once file is selected, it doesnt show full path.
2. lets say if it shows fullpath, but i try to load it into a movieclip, and it doesnt work because the swf file is located at the server and not the client's place.
3. as far as i know, flash can only load images which is located in the same server or internet.
4. if i use php, asp, cgi.. it can only allow me to 1st upload the image then resize later, but this is not wat i want.
5. I need to 1st resize then upload later, because if i have 100 and more photos taken from digicam, it's going to be very slow and heavy.

What i have tested:
1. upload "image3.jpg" into the same directory as the "viewer.swf", and it works.
2. do not upload the swf to the server, but run locally from the user's computer and open "image3.jpg" and it works.
3. upload the swf to the server and open "image3.jpg" from the user's computer and IT DOESN"T WORK!

please help me out.

Thanks~!

SOAP, C++, C#, Or Other Access To Flash Media Server Server Management ActionScript API,
I'm writing code to manage a farm of Flash Media Servers, and I need to call some Flash Media Server APIs from languages other than ActionScript.

I'm happy to write some of my code in ActionScript subroutines, and just use the NetConnection remote call API to invoke those functions. But I can find no way to do this.

I was initially enticed by the alleged support for Web-Services, but was disappointed to find that it only (appears) to support consumption of web services - not PROVISION of web services.

I saw that there was an external API accessible from flash media player itself, but that appears to require embedding the media player in a web browser, etc.

Is it - perhaps - possible to directly invoke the flash-media-player from a C# application using their COM-bridge in .Net? And then use that to invoke remote connections - without having any client side actionscript?

Any other ideas?

Flash Media Server 3 And Windows 2003 Server Help For Live Streaming
Hi
I installed FMS 3 (developer) on my Windows 2003 Web Edition.server online
I booted the FMS 3 and it seems that it works correctly (I did the port scanner and is ok)
But I can not see the live streaming applications.
I followed the guidance of Tom Green
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_vod_fm3.html

In local everything works, but in windows server 2003 does not see the movie: I see only the green bar.

Please, someone has had similar problems to my and resolved?
What should I do on Windows servers?
The firewall is open on port 1395, but I do not have results.

Also, if using Flash Media Encoder 2.5 (locally) and use <Stream to Flash media Server> after entering the username and password I have this error
Primary - [ AccessManager.Reject ] : [ authmod=adobe ] : ?reason=needauth&user ...

Someone can help me?
Thank you

Flash Media Server Only Works Local On Server
i just installed a developers version of the flash media server on a windows server.
i don't have any problems while starting my applications on the server itself.
the problem only appears when i try to connect from a different computer which is not located in this network,
at least a connection from "outside".

there is no firewall right now on that server that this can't be the problem.

when starting the media server by the managment console i also do login with the domain-name of the server and not with localhost...locally all is working well...but not from outside.

i also try to test port 1935, 443 and 80, but none succeed from outside.

what i also tried is to run a version of the flash communication server 1.5 on my home pc also running a windows server. in this case i had the same problems: could only get a connection locally but not from outside...i.e. the connection to the server failed.

anyone an idea?

Immitating Flash Streaming Server With Development Server
We have an FMS 2 application that we are getting ready to port to FMS 3. It works on the development server, which I understand, is full featured like the Flash Interactive Media Server. Since our customers are primarily K-12/colleges, and our application only streams very low quality audio we would like to suggest that our customers purchase the cheaper FMS Streaming Server 3.

The question:

Is there a way to make our Flash Media Development Server act like Flash Media Streaming Server with out purchasing a license, in order to test application compatibility? We don't want to have to purchase the streaming server only to find out it won't work and then pay another $3,500 in order to upgrade to FMS Interactive, when we could just pay $2000 to upgrade our existing FMS 2 license to FMS Interactive.

LoadVars With Server Side ActionScript (Flash Com Server)
I'm making a simple login application. I want to send a username/password while connecting to FCS, and have the SSAS of main.asc connect to a PHP document that will lookup the username/pass and make the necessary checks for the information in a mySQL database.

I'm trying to use the LoadVars() object, maybe you can't do this with SSAS? Or maybe i need to include some other actionscript file (I know when you use components you have to specify load("components.asc"); at the top of the main.asc file --- i'm hoping it's something that easy )

This is my first FCS app, I've done a lot of research but this one's sort of stumping me. I keep getting an error that looks like this:

/opt/macromedia/fcs/applications/my_app/main.asc: line 9: ReferenceError: LoadVars is not defined

Here is my code for main.asc:

ActionScript Code:
application.onAppStart = function(){ this.userCount = 0; this.users = [];}application.onConnect = function(thisClient, username, password){ thisClient.username = username; //authentication functions var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars; //line 9 where error happens my_lv.load("http://10.10.1.200/_websites/quickconnect/verify.php?username="+escape(username)+"&password="+escape(password)); my_lv.onLoad = function(success){ if(success == true){ thisClient.username = my_lv.username; thisClient.email = my_lv.email; thisClient.firstname = my_lv.firstname; thisClient.lastname = my_lv.lastname; thisClient.usertype = my_lv.usertype; this.users[this.userCount] = thisClient; this.userCount++; } } //if login is okay //add user to users list this.acceptConnection(thisClient); }

Flash Media Server Vs PROXY Server/firewire
Hi All,

Can anyone help us, we have a multiway communication app developed in flash utlising FMS for audio communication. But now we find out that the end client is sitting behind a proxy server. What are the best ways of being able to send the communication through their poxy server without making major changes to the server itself? Otherwise this whole project is floored because no connection can be made.
note: it works fine when the client is not behind the firewall.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Error: The Callee (server(not Server Application)) Is Not Available And...
Ok i am stumped. Here is the scenario, tested in IE6 and IE7, same problem; works FINE in Firefox:

I have a lobby that launches flash movies in new windows using window.open... The first movie opens fine, but if i close the window containing the 1st movie, and try to launch it a second time i get this error:

"Error: The callee (server(not server application)) is not available and
disappeard; all connections are invalid. The call didnot execute." (only get this error in IE6/7)

I am using LocalConnection to communicate between the lobby and the movie, javascript to open the new windows, and flashVars/php to pass key data to the newly opened movie...

What the hell is going on? Is this a javascript error or a LocalConnection issue?

Im so stumped, please help!

Flash Media Server / Proxy Server / AS 2 Help
I was wondering any of you guys on the board can help me with an issue I'm having on this project I'm working on...

I'm working on this flash video player that loads .flv's stored on a Flash Media Server through a proxy server. So the swf that's on server A loads a .flv on server B through a proxy server. The thing is that I built the player in AS 2.0 -using the FLVplayback component (I know I know, but I'm just learning 3.0) , and it's not working right now, and we have diagnosed that it's most probably because the ProxyType is not set and it needs to be HTTP i think. I know you can do it in 3.0, but I'm not sure of an equivalent way to do it in 2.0? Would I have to write something to extend the class?

Help!

Thanks in advance

Flash Media Server, Does It Need Server Side?

Window Media Server And Flash Server
hi experts,
I am rather new to Flash Media Server, but quite impressed with what flash server can do. however, i have a few questions which i could not find any answer on the website:

1) Could Flash Media Server co-exists on the same server with Window Media Server? Can both run at the same time?

2) Could Microsoft cluster service support Flash Media server or Window Media server? If not, is there any other way for high avail support?

Thank you guys in advance.

Accessing Flash Media Server From Another Web Server
Hi,

I have installed Flash Media Server 3 Developer Edition on a server to test out some flv files but cannot seem to access the files from another web server. I have not created an application in FMS3 but have placed the videos files in the VOD Media folder. Could this be a firewall issue and if so what port do I need to open up?

Kind regards

Flash Media Server Vs. Com Server?
I'm on a Mac, and am researching the Flash Media Server options.

I have downloaded some of the authoring kits available for the Mac, but am a
bit confused about the demo/trial of one that says
Flash Communications Server.
Is that different or the same thing as the Media Server?

Server Not Working On Live Server
So I just purchased the flash media server yesterday and migrated the files and applications to the live site. And things just wont work. I have encoded videos in the definst folder, but nothing shows up. The site takes a really long time to load and often crashes my firefox. I have verified that the server is running and all the services are running. I am using a Red Hat Linux server. has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a suggestion to trouble shoot this problem.

Also i cannot log into the admin console i am using the correct user and pwd.

Media Server And Web Server Interaction
Hi all i am new to flash media server ... i have a question before i have to post an architecture diagram for Comunication between media server , web server and Flash media server client ...

My question is that i want to know that ... lets suppose i have a simple live stream application installed on media server that reside on a third party and the flash client along with other website data is located on the webserver thats again another location. So once the connection is established with the flash media server if the webserver goes down will the flash media server keep on streaming to the flash client ...

In my opinion it will keep on streaming as webserver has nothing to do with the flash media server and the rtmp://ip:port//....... this connection is independent to the web server .. But i m not sure and wana ask the Guru's advice on this ...

I will appreciate you replies

Thanx

Save "Shareobject" Data In A Server Without Flash Media Server.
Hi there!

I´m Triyng to save "shareobject" data in a server from a Flash Game, in order to save each player score or any data. I´ve heard that it's made doing "sharedobject.getRemote". So each player would logg in and save their score wherever they are (from any PC conected in a server). So the Flash cookies should be in the server.

The problem is that to make that user would need to have the Flash Media Server installed...

So it´s possible to save "Shareobject" data in a server without Flash Media Server.

Thank you in advance

Streaming Media Server Vs Flash Media Server
We have a streaming server here. Can this be used to stream flv files on its own? Or do we need to add Flash Media Server to it in order to to this?

Right now, I'm thinking something needs to be done, because I try to post flv files, and I try to use this code to access them:

var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("http://video.[myURL].com/testSTream/streamVideoTest2.flv");

stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
trace("NetStream.onStatus called: ("+getTimer()+" ms)");
for (var prop in infoObject) {
trace(" "+prop+": "+infoObject[prop]);
}
trace("");
};

and the trace I get from onStatus is always, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

FK Needs A New Server...or Two
Howdy all,

I will admit that I don't know the inner workings behind those who maintain and work for FK, but the site overall is not what it once was in terms of speed in general. This forum is absolutely atrocious and usually the pages time out or give me 404's. Any ideas why?

Earlier this summer I was completely new to Flash and this forum and was able to find alot of what I needed from other developers and their advice. Now the site is sputting along and I'm sure alot of folks here are getting turned away or frustrated, especially if they have a genuine problem they need help with.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me, and if so, does anyone have an answer perhaps?

Server
Ok I am currently working on my 3rd site and it will be on how to hack but all of the free webpage providers don't allow it. So I guess the only way to get my site out there is to get my own server but I have no idea on were to start. So if someone would please tell me some basic information on servers (like cost, uploading, buying, ECT) Keep in mind I have no freggin idea of what these are and I am very cheap :-)

Swf On One Server Cgi On Another
Hi i have a bit of a problem.

I have a swf that links to a cgi script to keep track of scores and stuff. The script all works fine when the swf is sitting on the same server as the cgi.

But when i move the game to the clients server (the cgi will remain were it is) flash doesnt send the variables to it.

Is there any restrictions built into Flash regarding this?

The script is all okay and im not trying to steal it or use it without permission. Its just easier to keep it where it is.

I have tested it on two different servers than the cgi and they both dont work, but when the game in on the same server as the cgi it works the way it should.

Any ideas?

Txt From Server...
Hi,

I am in a strange situation which would require some help

1. My main swf movie loads from txt file with LoadVariableNum into its "containter.swf". It works well on my machine.

2. I upload all my swf and txt files to the remote server, all files are in the same folder, there are no subfolders.

3. I just run only the container.swf from the remote server... the content of the separate txt files appears well.

4. Now when I start my main.swf from the remote server. It calls the container.swf as it should.. the container.swf appears...but it does not load the content of the txt file, it is empty!!!

When I tried at step 3. , it worked, which does not work at step 4.

Why?

Thanks,
B.
