    Hi Rajasekaran,

    Your AS2.0 player should work fine against FMS 3.5.

    Your AS2.0 player SWF communicates with FMS via network protocols (RTMP, IP).  The protocols used by your AS2.0 player remain fully supported by FMS 3.5.  No changes will be required (other than to point your AS2.0 SWF to the URI for your FMS 3.5 server  ;-)

    What version of FMS are you currently using on your "old FMS"?

    In addition to the protocols supported by your AS2.0 player, FMS 3.5 does support new protocols (RTMPE), and maybe even more in future releases (RTMFP).  If you are not using the new protocols, however, these new protocols should be of no concern.

    Please reply back and let me know if you find this reply helpful, or if you have any follow-on questions.

                  Best regards,

    Dear Greg,

    I don't know about our old server....I am working on flash development. The server deployment is fully based on System Administration Department..Thanks for your information....


    The problem is, I have done with project in AS 2.0, with videoplayer(AS 2.0), the player will stream all the videos in FMS. Now we are going to upgrade our Video player in AS 2.0 to AS 3.0. Is it possible upgrade videoplayer to the AS 3.0 or do we need to work from scratch?

    Thanks in Advance

    Rajasekaran.

    Hi Rajasekaran,

    Regarding upgrading a SWF from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, this is not an FMS issue.

    Regarding your question "Is it possible upgrade videoplayer to the AS 3.0 or do we need to work from scratch?", based on my personal experience I found it best to first do a straight rebuild of my AS2 code in AS3.  There are some pretty significant changes in the syntax between the two versions.  So basically, my AS2-to-AS3 code conversions have ended up being rebuilt "from scratch", but using the preexisting AS2 code as a template.

    Will the upgrade be your first AS3 project?

    I found, as a Flash/Flex/ActionScript/FMS developer, the transition from AS2 to AS3 is very disruptive.  Again, there are some pretty significant changes.

    If you have not yet seen the following in the documentation, I highly recommend it:

    ActionScript 2.0 Migration
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/migration.html

    The table describes the differences between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. ...

    There are now many articles and even books on migrating from AS3 from AS2.
