Hey, I am thinking about making a web site that streams HD movies and videos that I have created myself. I was wonder could you use Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 to do so I know i would have to buy a dedicated server and a fast one with a good load of bandwidth. The big question am asking is that can you base a website or content management system around the interactive server.

    Yeah I have the same question,

    obviously fms would be solely used for storing and streaming content.

    but what are some ways to tie the fms to a content management system.

    my only solution is either hard coding a catalog system or the swf

    FMIS (the interactive edition) is capable of communicating with most http services. Assuming your CMS has an HTTP service exposes the required methods, your FMS application can consume data from and post data to that service.

    There are a number of options... LoadVars for http get/post, XML.send/load/sendAndLoad, SOAP, XML Sockets, and NetServices for remoting. The best option depends on what your CMS supports (or what you plan to make it support)

    FMS isn't reall suiatable for serving a website or CMS. I suppose you -could- use the included Apache installation to handle your HTTP traffic, but it would require installing a database, an application server, and whatever else you would need. You'd then need to maintain the installation yourself... FMS doesn't have any sort of package manager to handle updating Apache or anything else you might want to attach to it.

    I think you'd be better off using a package manager like Plesk or Cpanel, and let it take care of your httpd server and supporting services. My advice is to just use FMS for purposes that specifically call for it.
