Update .asc file on FMS

Hello,

Am just learning Flash Media Server (have good experience with AS3.0. however).

And I have installed the trial version FMS 3.5. and began with the first tutorial.

Here is my problem. I have opened in my Flash CS3 enviroment the client side .fla file and server side .asc file from the server (located of course in the applications/mytest folder).

But each time I make the slightest change in the .asc file and I save it, the change doesn't show. I have to manually restart the FMS server and then indeed, crtl + Enter the .fla file shows me the change.

But...is this normal? Because I find it quite irritating to continually restart the local FMS server just to see a tiny update (not to mention I don't have code error check for the .asc file).

Thank you for your time !

    Hi

    You need not restart FMS for every change you make in the .asc file. Instead you could unload the app from the administrative console after making the change in .asc and then run your .fla file to connect to FMS. This should reflect the changes you made to .asc.

    You can find the admin console at FMS Install directory\tools\fms_adminConsole.swf.

    Give a server name to FMS, enter the IP address to the FMS machine.

    Enter the admin ID and password. (You would have provided them at the time of installation or find them in FMS Install directory/conf/fms.ini -> values if SERVER.ADMIN_USERNAME & SERVER.ADMIN_PASSWORD).

    Click on Login.

    If you are connected to an app on FMS, you would see it loaded on the console once you login.

    Now once you have made modifications to the .asc file of the FMS app, select the app and click on "Unload this application" (label appears on mouse over) icon on same line as the Performance tab.

    Please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7ff4.html for details on using the admin console.
