Hi,

I'm reasonably certain I know the answer to this, but I just wanted to make sure, as if it were possible, my life would be much easier.

I know the FMS is good for streaming things video to clients and for clients to publish videos from their attached camera. Is it possible for a client to publish something other than a stream from a connected camera, for example, the contents of my swf stage? Is it possible to draw something like a text overlay onto a published stream?

Thanks.

    No... the only source you can attach to a netstream is a camera and/or mic.

    That said, if you have control of the playback client, you could do this with actionscript. You could use netstream.send to send actionscript events over the stream, and then have the playback client redraw the objects.
