Question

Is Flash Media Server 2 an actual server that you buy and
install on your computer to host your flash files? I'm really
confused in that the server comes packed as a piece of software~ My
understanding was that servers are bought over some vender that
provides internet space through their hosting machines....

Please help me understand how Flash Media Server 2 is used,
not it's features, but the way to deploy it. Thanks.

well you buy a liscense that allows you to connect a certainnumber of users to the server then along with your webserver youcan host .swf that use the flash media server to store and sharedata such as variables you have defined in the .swf........rememberthough that you must have a very highspeed connection (T4 orhigher) if you plan to have alot of users connected to the flashmedia server also be prepared to spend $7000 or more for a flashmedia server liscense make sure you read and understand the useragreement for flash media server you can download a developeredtion for free but you aren't allowed to use it for commercialpurposes.
