Hi,

at the company i work for , we started using the Flash Media Server. Nice stuff, got it up and running.

Now there is an issue. Is it possible to run a remote script that resides on the same server as FMS? It's for the following scenario :
A user uploads an flv-video, and after he presses save, that video needs to be distributed amoungst other servers in different countries. We've got the script read that will wait until it is executed and that copy the given file around.

So i'm wondering if there is a way in server-side actionscript to make a call to a script outside of FMS. Something like External(scriptname,arguments) or such. Is this possible in FMS?

    No, you would need to call a PHP/ASP/CFM server side file to do that. You can do that with the loadVars object.
