I’ve put off experimenting with Red5 until today as I’m quite happy with Adobe’s solution (Flash Media Server) and Red5 is still deep in beta-land at the time of this writing. I was able to install the server on Windows Vista and had a custom FLV stream piggybacked in a preconfigured sample application directory running […]

I’m working on a way to proxy stream data from Flash Media Server to client applications on separate domains. There should be a simple mechanism in place to take care of such security restrictions, but since there is not, my plan is to create a proxy SWF that lives on the same domain as FMS

Same issues as with BitmapData.draw() and RTMP… SecurityError: Error #2135: Security sandbox violation: SoundMixer.computeSpectrum: RTMP content cannot be accessed using this API. I hate to sound like a broken record… and I know there are probably some really good reasons for this- but there should be a way around this RTMP security restriction. Developers want

We had looked into the streaming of live events through Flash Media Server previously, but due to the limitations of the Spark

I’m currently building a standalone app in Flash/AS2 translated to an execuatable via Screenweaver. What has really been a downer are the incredible restictions placed upon BitmapData.draw(), which is used heavily throughgout the application. The really terrible thing is that we own all of the domains the loaded images and video are originating from, but

It’s a dead simple task to set up multiple application directories in Flash Media Server 2. I’ve been trying to figure out exactly how to do this for a while now (on and off) and the simplicity of it is astounding. I was under the false impression that this would require configuring a number of
