Hi,

is there a way to use loadVars with an rtmp connection so that the page Im using to get the variables into my flash movie are not exposed in a user's temp internet files?

thanks!

    Sorry, I wasn't aware your were using FMSS. FMSS does not support server side scripting, so you can't make data requests through it. You would need Flash Media Interactive Server for that.

    So, you might want to investigate your options for using an AMF webservice so you're dealing with binary AMF data rather than text over HTTP. I know there are AMF implementations for .NET, but I'm not sure about ASP classic (I don't code ASP or .NET, so I don't have any first hand experience there).

    You wouldn't use loadVars (loadVars expects an HTTP resource), you would make a method request of your FMS application.

    If you're not already using FMS, and the idea here is just to prevent the variable data from being cached by the client, you'd be better off using an AMF webservice like BlazeDS, AMFPHP, or WebORB (the best solution depends on your backend)

    Hi,

    thanks for the reply. I am using Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 to deliver my content, however the data that is delivered to the application uses an .asp page with variable/value keys. After the data is loaded into the app the page is available for viewing in a users temp internet files. It works fine, but Id like to eliminate the ability for users to view the data Im sending to the app. I was hoping there might be a way to stream data to my application using an rtmp connection, so that in the same fasion the content is not cached, the data would not be cached.

    if you can point me to some documentation of what i need to do, that would be great!

    thanks!
