Question

Converting Flash sites to iOS via FMS or Wallaby

Hi, Everybody!

Having some sites on flash (SWFs, not necessarily with video content), is it possible to convert them on the fly by FMS into streams compatible to iOS's Safari? I didn't find any info about this in the documentation. The idea is to show video-"presentation" instead of actual site, when the site is shown to a client without Flash support.

Also, is it ok to install Wallaby on the same Windows server where FMS was installed? I just want to make sure these two product do not interfere  somehow. We are going to check all possibilities for sites converion to Apple platform.

Thanks in advance.

FMS won't convert sites into streams at first place - its not meant for that. Sorry if i got your question wrong.

As far having Wallaby and FMS together on same machine - i do not think there should be any issue - i dont see any reason why they would interfere with each other. And actually there should not be any relation with them - one is server software and one is client software - both are meant for completely different purposes.

if you want to know about video delivery to iOS via FMS - i can help you on that front.

Thank you for your answer. So, if I have SWF with some animations it can't be seamlessly converted by FMS? Then how can we tie together the SWFs as input and video as output? Wallaby is in the list to check as well, but from what I've read on the forum, it has too many restrictions by this time, so feature-rich flash sites will be hardly converted decently.

Like i said before FMS won't help you convert your SWF's into video. There might be softwares which does such conversion - i have not used any such tool personally. FMS would only come into picture when video delivery is concerned.So once you convert your SWF into FLV or MP4 - and once you check for validity of converted video files - you can stream them via FMS.
