This started as a simple mechanism to display a live RTMP stream from Flash Media Server to a client machine and related projection system.

There is really no denying it at this point for anyone who was seriously contending. Flash has the crown and is in no way giving it up. After seeing what Alchemy can do at the keynote today, P2P multicast video, Durango, and Server-Side ActionScript (!) during Sneaks this evening… Good God… what an awesome time

I really, really hope that one of the improvements is a better security model when it comes to RTMP security restriction when accessing byte-level data… PLEASE, Adobe… Allow developers to access RTMP streams via BitmapData.draw() and SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()… please! Features important to my projects include: Improved performance H.264 and AAC streaming support New security features Improved
