Hi,
I'm new to Flash, could someone suggest what product is more suitable for my needs. Basically I'm looking at creating a live streaming app, some sort of video conference where two clients would talk to each other using webcams and microphones, video and audio would be streamed through a server. Which product would I need for something like this: streaming server or interactive server?
Thanks.

    FMSS will work with no other applications but with only the LIVE and VOD applications provided with it. Hence while you can use it for live streaming using the LIVE application provided, but will not be able to write any other applications like the chat application you intend to.

    But all these and more is possible with FMIS. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for your reply. But it's still not clear to me, what is the difference between the two. From what I've read about streaming server it looks like it does provide life streaming. Apologies for my ignorance, but could someone explain it to me in more detail. Thanks in advance.

    You would need interactive server.
