Hello all,

I am new to flash but have a development background in Java and PHP etc... so have no problem understanding code. I have a client who wants to try out the Media Server.

so I downloaded the developers edition which is cool then the sample apps. I worked with some and got them working.

What I would really love is a basic step-by-step tut on how to setup a video file (flv) on the FMS and test the streaming by calling a web page with a flash object that plays the movie with the rtmp protocol.

Cheers

marc

Is there such a thing? The documents on this site for FMS have an assumption that you know what you are doing!

    Fast way is to use the FLVPlayer and the information in docs:

    Sort of.

    The folks at Macromedia renamed Flash Communication Server to Flash Media Server with the 2.0 release. IT's the same product line... just with a new name and a few added features.
