Question

I have FMS 3 installed and streaming archived files. I need to set it up to stream live feeds too. I have googled around and see some discussion on this, but it is all over my head at the moment. Are there some easy to follow docs on this subject that provide step by step, instructions ?

I should say I am very familiar with other forms of streaming, including using Flash Media Live Encoder, which we utilize to send streams to mogulus. This question focuses on the FMS we have in house at our main office.

    You don't need an Adobe product to write server-side scripts for Flash Media Interactive Server -- you can use any text editor. Then you place the server-side script in your application's folder on the server and it runs in the embedded Mozilla SpiderMonkey engine.

    On the client side, you can use text editors to write ActionScript scripts, but you have to compile them to run in Flash Player or AIR. Along with Flash CS3/4, and Flex Builder, you can use the Open Source Flex SDK to compile SWF files (it's free).

    If you want to run your app in AIR instead of Flash Player, AIR also has a free SDK:

    No - you can use CS3 all day on those tuts. In fact some of what is marked as CS4 really isn't (yet) and some of what is marked as AS3 is really AS2.

    Thanks... I am trying to discover if I have to purchase an adobe product to write these scripts. I realize I can get a demo version for now, but quite honestly am not in the field that would normally require I use an adobe suite of any sort.

    Thank you! I ran across that same link as I continued to google around. I think I am already stuck on step one though:

    (Open Flash CS4 Professional (or CS3) and create a new ActionScript 3.0 document that is 640 × 480 pixels.)

    Do I actually have to purchase CS4 to create the necessary ActionScript?
