Question
VOD Client in Samples Directory
I'm new to FMS and we're deploying Flash Media Streaming
Server 3.
I am a bit confused with regards to developing on this platform as i understand there are some limitations for developing on this platform instead of the Flash Media Interactive Server.
I am looking to take the existing sample vod client from the samples/applications/vod directory which includes the dropdown/go button combination and replace it with something more intuitive for the end user, that incorporates an autoplay or even just eliminates the need to press the go button to load the first video.
My questions surrounding the limitations are, am i bound to most of the logic in the vodtest.as file or can i refactor that and it will still connect with the VOD service on the box. Or, can i simply just make some small modifications to the script and there are portions that must be left in place. I am left to believe you can, as the library for the .fla file includes many items that are not being used in the application.
It seems to be all a bit unclear to me so i'm wondering exactly what it is i'm missing here. I've been looking for a nice tutorial/article etc. to help clear my confusion but haven't had much luck.
Any suggestions?
