Flash :: Flash Communication Server Problem

Flash Communication Server
What the hell is this. Another version of flash. I spent over 500 dollars when MX first came out, excited about the possibility of video conferencing development, and it turns out you need this new version to do this. Please tell me I am mistaken. If I am not, to hell with Macromedia. This is the kind of crap that makes people down load software illegally.

Is there a way I can create video conferencing with the current MX and use another type of server software to connect applications together?

Concerned, broke, and pissed,
troy

Flash Communication Server

FLV For Flash Communication Server
Hi:
I have a book by Kevin Towes (Macromedia Flash Comm Server MX)
where he explains about using Flash MX to export FLV to be used for
Flash Communication server. I tried exporting my FLV using both
Flash MX and Flash MX 2004. I still cannot get it streamed thru the
FCS. I am sure the problem is not with my codings but with the flv,
most probably.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Flash Communication Server
Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys have played around with FlashComm at all? I am currently taking a class, and trying to get the hang of it. The class is pretty comprehensive and I'm not doing having too much trouble. But I definately have some question reguarding some techniques that my professor hasn't touched upon and I was wondering if any of you guys had any knowledge about.

My question is about how the client-side AS relates to the server side AS. I'm sitting here looking at both files, and I can't figure it out. It's not really a technical question pursay. I'm just looking at this sample file for an Mp3 player and the client side script doesn't call upon the server side script at all. Does it just know to do it? or is this sample file just wrong? Here is th code I'm looking at:

Quote:

CLIENT SIDE

//Connection
var hookup_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
hookup_nc.connect("rtmp:/zmp3select/spin");
var musicStream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(hookup_nc);
//Classics
start_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamClassics");
musicStream_ns.play("myMusic");
};
//Blues
blues_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamBlues");
musicStream_ns.play("myMusic");
};
//Music Off
stop_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamsOff");
musicStream_ns.close();
};

Quote:

SERVER SIDE

application.onConnect = function(player) {
application.acceptConnection(player);
player.streamClassics = function() {
player.mySounds = Stream.get("myMusic");
if (player.mySounds) {
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Mozart1", 0);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Regal", 0, -1, false);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Bolero", 0, -1, false);
}
};
player.streamBlues = function() {
player.mySounds = Stream.get("myMusic");
if (player.mySounds) {
player.mySounds.play("mp3:IndianBlues", 0);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:ye", 0, -1, false);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:palmsway", 0, -1, false);
}
};
player.streamsOff = function() {
player.mySounds.play(false);
};
};

Flash Communication Server......
I have a free trial of the Flash Communication server. I just wondered if its the same as the Multiuser server which comes with Macromedia Director MX, If it is, is it possible to make chat rooms?

If you can any tutorials?

Flash <-> Server Communication
I don't know much about Flash but I need to judge its appropriatness for a future project. In particular, I am interested in its app <-> server communcation abilities.

There are two cases that I can think of:

1) Can a Flash app running in a browser periodically retrieve updated data from a Web server?

2) Can a Web server periodically send updated data to a Flash app running in a browser? For that matter, can the server even keep track of which users still have the Flash app running in their browsers (assuming the app was downloaded from the same server)?

I found Macromedia Flash Remoting MX. Is that what I need? It looks promissing but it's very expensive (1000 USD) and only runs on a Windows box. Are there any alternatives?

Thank you very much for your help!

New Forum?: Flash Communication Server
I was just wondering (especially to any moderators out there), if there was a chance of setting up a Flash Communication Server MX forum. Is there anyone out there using it? I've been looking at it pretty closely and wouldn't mind sharing a few things (and of course, asking questions of others.) It's a great program, and I was kind of curious what others were doing with it. (Yeah, I could just post in the MX forum, but there's a lot of messages to sift through in here.) Thanks.

FLASH MX And APPLICATION And COMMUNICATION SERVER MX
Ok...Questions about FLASH MX. So its said that FLASH is sort of an internet application development program. Is this like for INTRANETS and EXTRANETS? Also what roll does or can COMMUNICATION SERVER MX play in that?

Flash Communication Server(FCS) Application
I'm working on a Flash Communication Server(FCS) Application :

The application's objective is mainly aimed at conferencing along with features like (normal text chat + video display + whiteboard + image slides + text slides + file uploads etc.)

The application uses Flash MX + FCS + Flash remoting + CF + MS SQL

Now what i intend to achieve is :

1) currently there's a 'powerpoint' tool in the application just converts the powerpoint slides into jpg files and displays these in the application's session - we would like to see about the possibility of being able to import a full powerpoint file into the shared session so that it maintains all powerpoint features (i.e. animation, page transitions, etc.)

2) the ability to have a 'shared' web browser in the application's session so that a user could control a browser and the other participants could view the same.

QUESTION : ARE THE ABOVE MENTIONED POINTS POSSIBLE? (using the above mentioned technologies, or by integrating some other technology which could further communicate to the afore mentioned technologies. )

Confused About Flash Communication Server
I have be playing with this and electro server

It seems to me they both have the same ability to create semi real time games.. But why do I not read anything about writing games with flash communication server?

As far as the difference between that and electro server... it which situation is one better than the other?

FCS seems heavily into chatting and sending audio and video back and forth yes?

Flash Communication Server Alternatives
Hi, i am fairly new to flash. Is any way to create a chatroom application without using flash communication server? I have been brainstorming interesting interactions between flash, javascript, and php, but so far i have been unable to find a reliable approach that doesn't waste large amounts of resources.

What Ever Happened To Flash Communication Server?
I know it wasn't very popular, has it been discontinued?

Flash Communication Server MX And SSAS
MK, i just got a mediatemple site, and ultimetly i want to learn server-side action script to talk to a mySQL data base,

Flash Media/Communication Server
Hi all,
I'm just pondering...
So what in the heck is Flash Media or Communication Server and what makes it worth 15 grand? I know that it's possible with it to stream live video and even host maybe a conference chat via video feeds and whatnot, but beyond that, what is the purpose or point?
Is it possible to create an instant messenger inside of flash WITHOUT FMS? Why 15 THOUSAND dollars?

I have connected to Flash Communication Server and I am able to load the flv files. However when I try to use the FLVPlaybackComponet, nothing happens it just stays on the preloader.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Upgrade Flash Player In Communication Server Application
hi hi

I build a flash communication server application and it works fine, but I need to upgrade my flash player from 6 to 8.
when I change my flash player to 8 in my .fla it doesn't work well any more.

can any one tell me how I can fix it, please?

Audio Video Streaming Using Flash Communication Server
I am currently working on a modeling web site and I want to offer a online portfolio where models

can post their photos, audio and video files, thus making it a multimedia based portfolio.

Here is the list of the files I plan to allow the models to upload in their portfolio
Photos - .gif, .jpg, .bmp
Audio - .mpeg, wma, mp3 and wav
Video - .avi, .mpeg, .mpg, .mov

I am trying to find a way for users of this site to view the audio/video files without having any

file format specific plug-in or player installed on their desktops. So far I have concluded that it

would be best if somehow I can manage to stream down the audio and video files on the client’s

browser in Flash format then this would require the clients to have only a Flash browser plug-in

which is a very common plug-in now a days.

I think all this could be done using Flash Communication Server and I am working on that. However I

am sure that we do not some 3rd party applications like Flix Engine http://flix.on2.com/ and similar

tools.

Any help, advice or pointers on this matter would be highly appreciated. If anyone has developed

such a feature in the past then I am also open to buying that from him (of course I can’t pay a lot

of money).

Let me know.

Thanks
Paresh

Use Flash Communication Server To Protect Actionscript From Decompilers?
I've been trolling the web almost non-stop for the past week trying to figure out if there is some way to protect ActionScript code from SWF decompilers. (Obviously the answer I came up with is a resounding no.) Some forums that I visited seemed to imply that by using .ASC files on a Flash Communication Server and using Flash Remoting, that you can have Flash movies run ActionScript code server-side, thus preventing any web browser clients from accessing the ActionScript source code. Is this really true, or am I just starting to hallucinate? Basically, I am wondering if there is some way to place all of the classes that I have created for a Flash project in server-side ActionScript, so that anyone who visits and manages to decompile the SWF cannot see the actual ActionScript code? Since this project is for a corporate business, I guess you can assume that I have "infinite" bandwidth at my disposal.
