Hi

I am new to Flash Media Server and I can't get my head around this software.
How do you deploy the applications you build on your development pc, onto an external server?
Do you have to have FMS running on the external server?
Or does FMS supply you with files that can be used on any server?

This is so confusing.
Thank you for any help in advance.

Jay

    The key thing to understand is that the Flash client (the flashplayer) is what makes the connection to FMS. FMS and the .swf don't need to be on the same server.

    What you need to do is change your RTMP string in your connect command. I"m guessing you're currently using localhost or a LAN IP. Once you move the .swf to another server, you have to use the WAN IP or domain name of the FMS server.

    Once you have that taken care of, you can serve the .swf from anywhere.
