Question

Did a Flash CS3 update kill my FMS workflow?

So, for a few years we've been using a virtual directory (set in the "Vhost.xml" file) called "contentApp", which points at the E drive. The app folder in the "applications" directory is called "content". So, to view this via the FLVComponent, we'd use:

rtmp://ourserver/contentApp/content/theFile.flv

And it worked great - even using the Flash CS3 component. But the most recent update (9.0.3?), seems to include a new FLVComponent that doesn't allow this. I can open and copy from an FLA with the older component and it works great. But if I simply create a new file and use the new component, I get nothing.

Was there a security update that I missed? I can get it to work by pointing at a "streams/_definst_" folder, but I really need that virtual directory (We generally have it point at a SAN, where we keep all our content).

I'm going crazy looking for a solution. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    just a suggestion (might not work, but this is an alternative way to specify URL to FLV playback component and worth a try, I guess :) )

    try this URL:
    rtmp://ourserver/contentApp/_definst_/flv:content/theFile
