Flash :: Flash And Ftp Server Help

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.

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?
Ive been importing my videos and selecting flash media server, which I thought was streaming. However its always worked fine and I dont understand what these extra files are that are needed on the server? Are my videos just converting to progressive video? Because I never knew they needed special files yet they have always worked or so it seems!

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

Stream Works From Local Desktop To Server But Not Server To Server
I have flash media server running on linux. If I launch a test application from my desktop that points to the flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) it works beautifully. However, If I launch an application from my server(http://myserver.com/myapp) and have it point to my flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) i get a rejected from server error. Does anyone know why this would behave like that and how it might be fixed? Thank you.

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?

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

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~!

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!

Very Basic Question: Flash Media Server Vs. Embedding Flash Video
I'm hoping this is a quick easy question to answer:

What is the difference between Flash Media Server and simply using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer http://flowplayer.org/) that uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a website?

What are the advantages to Flash Media Server and how does something like Flowplayer not address issues that FMS can?

Thanks in advance!

NEED A SERVER THAT HAS THE FlashComm Server MX INSTALLED
Do you know of any server that has the FlashComm Server MX installed??.

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

Flash On Server
we have multiple sites on a server all running flash. All of a sudden any new flash file we put on the server runs very slow. If the file is already on the server it is fine.

We have created new files one two separate computers, sent the files to the server by both email and ftp and we still can not solve the problem,

If we replace the new fla with an existing one it runs fine so we know the code is ok
Anyone have any idea?

Flash & Server
Hi everyone
I have this dynamic swf that displays graphic content and text effect following user's variables. For practicle reasons, and security reasons, I would like the user only to send variables with a simple form so he would receive a bitmap file of his creation within seconds, generated with php and flash bitmapdata on the back end. The missing part is the part when the genuine swf treats the data from wich php will dynamically create the bitmap. My question is can a server play a swf by itself on the back end only?
Thanks

Flash Com Server
I'm doing a flash comm 1.5 install and I'm having an issue with the installation. Basically, my streaming app records it's stream to poc/intro, there are no applications it just runs under default basically, simple recording streams to the hard drive and saving.

My setup is a windows server installation with apache. My D is a network drive, I've tried to install flash com to the D: drive and it installs but the admin page will not connect. So, I installed it to the C: default drive. Then, I've tried to change my applications folder to the d drive in Vhost.xml, and then set my with no successful results.

The funny thing is I've been testing this install on a test server then uninstalled and I got it right the first time but I can't get it now. My login running the service has admin rights. Is it possible to install flashcom to a netwrok drive?

Thanks,
please reply to Patrick AT(this url) snapp.me.com

And, since I have had no luck I just tried to do a default install and write to the c: drive with myapplication and now nothing
seems to work correctly.

I am sure the username and password are correct.

It works fine on my other sites server, but not on my second server.

Flash RSS On Non-PHP Server...
Ok, so without getting into a whole PHP/IIS debate, my problem is that I need to develop a simple flash RSS reader, the feed will be originating on the same domain, so the whole external data source issue should be a moot point.

Thoughts?

XML + Flash = Server Down?
Hi there,

i'm currently dealing with a serious anoying problem. The company I work for made an action-marketing website for a big bank in the Netherlands.

The site is just plain xhtml wich is hardcoded (not generated by php, mysql, asp, or something). One of the pages contains a flashmovie wich contains an animation of text like the departureboards you often see on the airports.
This flashmovie substracts his data from a dynamicly generated XML-file (done by an asp script), it only reads it's data once and then fills in the text-fields. so no big deal until now. Let's go to the part where my problem lays.

The big problem :?
Since our action-marketing pages are online on the server of this bank, their site starts to slow-down very rapidly.... Sometimes it even needs a hard-reset / restart to get it up and running again.
The tech-guys from the bank are telling us that it is our flashmovie that is shutting the place down.
But I find that hard to believe, our movie does nothing else but reading the XML once and place it's data once in the text-fields. After that it stops on the last frame, we even have no enterFrame scripts implemented....
So let's get on to my question...

The big question
My question to you guys/girls is as following:
1. Has any of you experienced the same problem?
2. Does anyone of you know why it posibly could shut the server down?
3. Does anyone of you guys/girls know a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Does The Server Affect Flash?
I created a dynamic hierarchical menu for my site http://www.ls3k.com

Each submenu is a separate movie clip that is set to _visible = false
When triggered they are changed to _visible = true

For some reason when I put the .swf on the remote server the submenus won’t trigger. However, they work fine on my local Dev server even when the embed string points to the .swf on the remote server.

I also went to another computer and tried it with the same results. When the HTML page is requested from my host’s server the menu doesn't work. When requested from the server on my computer the menus work.

Anybody have a theory as to why this doesn't work?
Remote server = IIS 5.0 on Win2000
Local Dev server = Apache 1.3.2.0 on Win2000
