Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 integration with Elearning - LMS Sites

I evaluated the Flash Media Server 3.5 by running samples for .flv,f4v,.mpg,.avi video formats and the product looks excellent to work

as a Video Streaming Server - Live Video, Recorded Video Viewing by Audiences.

Query :

ELearning Course modules are designed and developed using Macromedia Flash and Action Scripting Language.

The Output Formats of the LMS are .swf files.

As Elearning courses - LMS offer/involves User Interaction (Viewing courses by Students, Giving Exams for obtaining certification etc)

Can we also use the Flash Media Server 3.5 for integrating with LMS Site running in IIS 6.0/7.0 ?

Client : IE 6.0/7.0, Macromedia Flash Player 10.0.

Thanks & Regards,

    Tried in Google : .swf to .flv, .swf to ..f4v convertors

    I convert the LMS Content Output formats .swf files to .flv files using SWF to FLV Convertor and upload

    on the Flash Media Server 3.5 using

    Moyea SWF4Tube Converter (SWF to FLV Converter)

    Web URL : http://www.swfkits.com/swf-to-flv-converter/

    In this way can i then use the Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 for Viewing LMS Content in

    as a Streaming Video on my IE 6.0/7.0 Browser with Flash Player 10 installed ?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Provided that the converter creates valid .flv files, you should then be able to stream the files using FMS.

    That said, your first post suggests that the .swf files generated by the LMS may require user interaction. Keep in mind that when you convert to .flv, any interactions will be lost, and the resulting .flv file will be view-only.
