Question
so, remind me how FCS?FMS works...
hey everyone
my company used to use FCS for one of their eLearning portals. i thought they had completely removed it but apparently some obscure customers still use it but i haven't worked on it for years so have forgotten quite how it worked. i've downloaded the dev version of FMS2, installed fine, managed to get the helloVideo app from oreilly's programming flash communication server running ok locally with server side traces in the admin panel showing etc. great!
now i need to stop using localhost FMS and run our old app on the actual servers to investigate a bug. hows this done? how i can make changes to the server's main.asc? do i need to edit it locally then upload? or what?
the oreilly example seems to use:
nc.connect("rtmp:/helloVideo", userNameInput.text);
to connect. is that right? and do i have just to change the uri to point to rtmp:/myCompanysServer.whatever? and can i run the swf inside the flash ide so that i can get client side traces too? and when i run the oreilly swf my local version of the admin htm page simply picks up the fact that a FCS/FMS app is running. i'm assumiing this wont happen if i change the connection uri in the swf. how can i get the admin panel to look at a different server than localhost? and i recall with the FCS admin panel i used to use the log would trace loads of useful info about new streams, netconnection objects without me asking for it. the new FMS admin log seems only to trace actually traces i have myself written into the server side code. can i get the old info i used to read and use to show in this version or not?
lots of questions i know. hope you can help tho! :)
