is the live application just like the VOD one? I want to encode live content with the flash media encoder to my flash server and access it from a client. Do i use the same procedures as a vod? IE, using flash cs3 to publish an html which i then put on my web server.

There seems to be very little in the way of tutorials and documentation on this. Can anyone help me out?

    Everybody:

    We actually are using Adobe Flash Media Encoder 2.5 to capture audio & video from the device: pinnacle studio moviebox plus, we have one problem with the audio, The pinnacle study moviebox plus capture audio & video, but the program doesn't capture the audio from the same device, We are using this program for live streaming.
    Our question is: We are using the correct program to have live audio & video streaming?
    Or, what can we do to have the audio & video from the same device into the program?
    Or, what is the program that we need to use for this item?
    We appreciate your prompt answer, thanks in advance

    OK, for future searchers:

    To make a swf that plays a live stream (using Flash CS3):

    1) create a new .fla project
    2) drag an instance of FLVPlayback component onto the stage
    3) give the FLVPlayback instance a name (ex: flv1)
    4) in FLVPlayback parameters:
    autoplay: true
    source: rtmp://yourdomain.com/live/yourstreamname
    5) in frame1 actionscript, put the following:
    "flv1.isLive = true;" (no quotes, change flv1 to your instance name)

    That's all I had to do. Test it and see if it works. This doesn't take into account positioning, scaling, or any skins.

    No. Live & VOD are differently handled. The best way to start is to go throught sample Live & vod app that comes with FMS3 the complete source code shared in samples/applications/ directory of your fms3 installation.

    also follow the documentation at

    Yes, I have already run through the sample apps. But is there any way to publish an SWF that loads the live stream to the client in the same way that it does for VOD? I just want the end user to click on a link and see the live stream. I can encode the stream to the flash server. All I need is this last piece.

    I have to said that the lack of documentation for FMIS3 in the Live Broadcast is horrible, no body here can give you an explanation in deep. I been thrying for weeks to get this shi..... going and nothing, just locally and thats it. It sucks big time, don't know whatelse to do, search the net and nothing, not even here in this dam forum can you get the solution.
