    The question is sort of broad. Maybe it would help if you explain what you want to accomplish.

    Well, I just dont know what it is capable of. Here are somethings I want more information about but i cannot find enough documentation on...

    *How to import things such as POLLS or Applications like Chat programs into a live stream...

    *How do I accomplish HD streaming

    *Currently I use Domain protection so people cannot take the stream and use it elsewhere. What other protection is there?

    *How do i deploy ANY applications on FMS 3.5 ? Such as me sending a simple text box message into the flash media player live stream?

    *How do I correctly use the DVR functionality ?

    * How do I use Bandwidth detection ? (Is this only for VOD) ?

    Thanks

    For a general primer on client/server interaction and application programming, I suggest an old (but still mostly valid) book:

    http://flash-communications.net/

    The client side code examples are outdated, but all of the server side programming is the same. The book does a great job of providing a basic understanding of programming FMS.

    You can also read the getting started guide... http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/

    On the note of "HD Streaming"... there's no magic to it. An "HD" stream is nothing more than a video at high resolution. If you publish a high resolution stream, you're publishing "HD". I put "HD" in quotes because I personally hate the term... it's used too broadly and without any real definition.

    For use of the DVR functionality... after you have a general understanding of client/server interaction and actionscript programming, see Adobe's DVRCast application. It's a solid example, but may not server your needs exactly (every application is different... there is no "one way fits all" approach).

    About bandwidth detection... http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e-7ffa.html
