Need help with setting up a stream with FMLE and FMS

Hi guys!

I'm new to this stuff, so i would love if you could guide me, and/or tell me if what i'm trying to do is even possible.

This is what i'm trying to do:

I am currently working on a project for Narvik University College in Norway. We are experimenting with remote control of some lab equipment. We want to stream live video from the lab for the students to see.

So..

I want to set up a stream from my webcam that can be accessed through a webpage by anyone (with minimal delay)

This is what i understand i have to do:

Use FMLE to connect to the webcam, and connect FMLE to FMS, and somehow get this out on my webpage.

It's the Flash Media Server bit i don't understand. How do i go about to get this out on my webpage? Do I have to use a Flash Streaming service like Onyxservers to do this, or can i do this part myself? If yes, how complicated is this?

Best Regards

    all you need to do is replace the localhost part of the URI to point to the IP address or DNS name of the server on which the FMS is residing. the rest of the URL remains the same.

    OK, i have now managed to set up the Flash Media Server and made a simple flash application that shows the stream.

    But now, everything is local, and if i want to embed the stream on the webpage, i guess it can't be local.

    The source in the flash application is "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream" and shows the webcam when i open the .html file (with the flash video embedded) on this computer. What should the source look like when i embed the flash file in a webpage that is not on this computer?
