Question

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.

    I think you will have to work it out - sorry i do have much time on my hand to give detailed explanation , because whiteboard development is not that trivial.

    But i just found few links which might be useful for you.

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/components.html - Can you follow this link and download and place components at proper place and see if you get Whiteboard example ( which was crashing) working with components installed.

    Also if you are looking for ready to use but willing to buy , below link might be helpful for you:

    Thanks for your help!

    We have started to use some code from the SharedBall and whiteboard components and it now seems to be working to an extent.
