Whiteboard

Hi guys

Working on a project for college, we need to create a simple shared whiteboard for use on an FMIS. What is the best way to go about this? We have tried, rather half-assedly, to script the whiteboard and then force it to link with the a netconnection package, but this doesn't work.

Cheers

    This might be good starting point for you: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/whiteboard.html

    Above article is pretty old but i suppose still should work - i have not gone in details of it, but try it out and let me know if you run into any issues.

    Hey

    Thanks for getting back to me.  We have been following this tutorial and downloaded the zips of the simple whiteboard.  But honestly we aren't sure what do with them.  We have tried linking them to the server in the same way we linked out video and chat interfaces, but it doesn't seem to work.  We are very new to using the FMIS so we are probably missing something small and simple.

    Any help you could give would be hugely appreiciated.

    Have you followed the instructions given bu author (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/whiteboard_2.html). Let me put it her for you:-

    Create a folder called "whiteboard" in your FMS applications directory  ( example: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server\applications)

    Create a file name main.asc inside "whiteboard" folder.

    Open main.asc in notepad and put one line in it :

    load("components.asc")

    Save the file.

    Now run whiteboard_BA5.swf.

    Let me know if this works.
