Hi all,

Could someone assist in detailing the exact procedure of configuring FMS to use Camtasia (screen capture) as a live feed for FMS that will then be streamed to a Flash Streaming player on a web page?

Hugs garenteed for the expert answer :)

Thanks a bunch,
Ido.

    Ido,
    Each client must subscribe to the stream that you have published to FMS. Here is a sample of how...

    __nc = new NetConnection("rtmp://yourConnection");
    __ns = new NetStream(__nc);
    __ns.play("TheStream");
    __videoObjectOnStage.attachVideo(__ns);

    The __videoObjectOnStage is a video created from the Flash Library. Rt click on library and select new video, actionscript controlled.

    Ido,
    It is rather easy to capture the Camtasia "web" cam and publish to FMS. Listed below are the high level steps necessary.

    Create Flash application with below scriptlets
    -- _nc = new NetConnection("rtmp://yourConnection")
    -- m_ns = new NetStream(__nc)
    -- var cam:Camera = Camera.get(getLiveCamera());
    -- function getLiveCamera():Number {
    for (var i:Number = 0; i < Camera.names.length; i++) {
    if (Camera.names == "Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver") {
    return i;
    } else {
    return null;
    }
    }
    }
    -- m_ns.attachVideo(cam);
    -- m_ns.publish( "_Stream");

    Run Camtasia Recorder
    -- Set Enable Live Output under Live Tab.
    -- Set Live Capture Rate.
    -- Set additional parameters as required.
    -- Start recording.

    Hope this helps out...

    Shag,

    Thanks -this is great.

    Now, that I published to FMS successfully, how do I setup the FLV streamer in the client apps (remote web)?
