Question

FMS 3 over FMS 2

Hi,

The Adobe site wasn't clear enough for me. I have 2 main questions:

- The site wasn't clear about if Flash Media Interactive Server also is unlimited users/bandwidth. It states that Flash Media Streaming Server is.

- What is so new in FMS 3 that you would want it over FMS2. I suppose future Flash players will still be able to connect to FMS2, not? There is some info on Adobe's site on FMS3, but I couldn't find a comparison between FMS2 and FMS3.

Hoping for you help.

Kind regards.

The release notes at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaserver/3/Flash_Media_Server_3_ReleaseNotes.pdf list the new features. The emphasis may not be quite what you're looking for, but the answers should be there.

Meanwhile, SolitonMan asks, "Is there somewhere that describes the ActionScript that will be supported in the server? Will it be able to accept real ActionScript 3 clients?" FMS 3 runs the same Server-Side ActionScript as FMS 2, not AS3. But, unlike FMS 2, it can deal with real AS3 clients and AMF3 data. The only restriction that I can think of is that the server-side scripts can't interpret/transform some kinds of new data, such as raw byte arrays. (You can still pass them around between clients, record them into FLVs, etc.; you just don't have the AS3 APIs to do anything directly to them.)

Here's an article on the subject that may also help, and a tutorial too that talks about the differences a bit and the installation process:

Connection and bandwidth limitations are the same for both versions, unlimited for both. Only the development version has a 10 connection limit.

Hope that helps.
