Dear people,
I just download the trial version of Flash CS4 and FMS3. But it did not have the FMS components!??
Where are the components!? I tried one old MX components, but it did not install because It didn't found the Flash MX....
So. Here is the question. What I must install to get the FMS components to use with Flash CS4

Best regards,

    The communication components haven't been updated since Flash MX. They are written in actionscript 1, and are not compatible with actionscript 2 or 3. You'll need to rewrite them if you want to use them in an AS2 or AS3 project.

    I just recently started developing (I use the term loosely) Flash. I am working on a project that is designed to use an audio conference feature. I found the old MX components and code. Unfortunately I recently bought CS4 and it doesn't like the old AS1 code it seems. I keep getting errors about missing font: Arial TUR. Then after trying to sub the standard font as it asks, the IDE crashes and disappears.

    The odd thing is that it didn't complain when I was using a trial version of CS3 for ~30 days. oh well...

    So, #1 how do I fix the missing font issue.

    #2 are there new components for FMS3 (why re-invent the wheel)

    Thanks for your input.

    Some applications available at FMS devnet for download.

    The installation I was talking about was in a Windows, of course, since there is no Mac version of FMS3 Server....

    No. I would like to use the Flash side FMS components like SimpleConnect....

    I am using a Macintosh.

    I was investigating further and I suspect the CS4 abolish the old FMS components like SimpleConnect....

    When we install the FMS3 for developer it doesn't install the old Flash side FMS componentes (like SimpleConnect, Chat...), does it?

    Can you please confirm!?

    Thank you very much,

    Are you referring to FMS server-side components ?
