Basic Media Server Component Problems

Hey! Excellent, Jay. That did it. So thats good to know, no harm in specifying the default port for dumb WindowsXP.

Thanks again for the help

If you are running the .swf on the local FMS machine, try this as your rtmp string:

rtmp://localhost:1935/voice_chat

If the .swf is on a remote machine, try this:

rtmp://IPaddress.of.your.fmsMachine/voice_chat

Do you see the apps loading in FMS Management Console?

If they are not loading there then you may need to tweak the installation to
respond.

I last touched Flash back in 2004MX, haven't bought the version 8 upgrade
yet,
and my actionscript is a bit rusty. I'm interested in trying to learn the
Flash Media Server, I've installed the demo on my WinXP machine. I
downloaded
the media server components and installed them according to the readme
instructions. Then I started going through the basics in the pdf.

I created a folder under the Applications directory called "voice_chat".
In
that I stuck the components.asc file and created the main.asc file with the
load("components.asc"); command. In 2004 MX I dragged out the
SimpleConnect,
AudioConference, and RoomList. I linked the last to SimpleConnect, and
under
Application Directory I have "rtmp:/voice_chat/main.asc".

Testing this and connecting, does nothing. No users appear in either list.
Does Media Server 2 only work with Flash8? That was my first instinct, but
my
intentions are to integrate this with Director. I would greatly
appreciation
any information or noticeable issues in how I've gone about setting up these
basic components so far. Thanks
