Question
finally a solution to all your firewall problems
I finally have answer to all of you who are seeking this
question.
When the Flash Player encounters the connect() method, it attempts to connect to your FCS following a very specific pattern. It first attmpts to connect over port 1935, then port 433, then port 80 and then it automatically attempts to tunnel through by sending rtmp data over http also called RTMPT it turns out the automatic sequence of attempts is fine for many situations however you may find some users can't make a connection (well , the NetConnection can't) because their firewall blocks data from traveling through port 1935. If those users can connect to any website surely they can use port 80 .And even if their setup blocks rtmp surely they can use RTMPT over port 80 because its really just plain http ...you might think the final attempt by flash player RTMPT on port 80 to be failsafe however the problem is that if you are running your webserver on the same machine as FMS then they can't both use port 80 at the same time....a perfectly legitimate solution is to use to computers one for the webserver and one for FMS ......two computers probably means you need to specify the domain in your rtmp (rtmp://mydomain.com/video).
To force the flash player to try to connect through a specific port other than the defaults as specified above.....write rtmp as ....my_nc.connect("rtmp::8500/mydomain.com/video);
