I need to use RTMPT to get users to be able to go through my firewall to get to my flash media server 3. However, only rtmp will work. I have had no luck with RTMPT. I thought this protocol was the solution to firewall issues with flash? Am I missing some configuration piece or something?

    By default, the Flash Player will try to use port 80 for RTMPT. If you do not have the server configured to listen on that port, the client will not be able to connect. Add port 80 to the list of used ports in fms.ini.

    If for some reason you cannot use port 80 (if, for example, you have a web server on the same host that needs that port) you can configure the server to listen on some other port, but you will need to explicitly define that port in the client's rtmpt URL (for example rtmpt://myhost:8888/myapp to have the client connect to port 8888)

    Hope this helps.
