Question

Flash Media Server goes down mid-stream

So if my application is streaming a video and FMS goes down during it... I need to be able to error handle this. I'm wondering if FMS would return some sort of message or error upon going off line or if there is any other manner in which I could handle this. Ultimately I'd like to give the user a message informing them of the problem... or possible just switch to a progressive version of the same clip.

Any ideas?

    Well... if the server goes down it can't very well respond to it.

    What you want to do is have your client side netConnection.onStatus method repond to the change in the connection and notify the user.
