Mike, Another book that I might suggest is Programming Flash Communication Server<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progflashcs/index.html#top>by Lesser, Guilizzoni, Reinhardt, Lott and Watkins.
If you are working with FlashCom or Flash Media Server, this book remains a great resource. It was published in 2005 so I believe it is updated for MX 2004 and AS2. Chapter 13: Building Communication Components, goes through building a "Video Conference and Video Window". You might try posting your question on http://www.flashcomguru.com/flashmedialist/ Folks who know alot more than me are on that list. btw ... if you know AS2 I think you will be able to work your way through sample applications written in AS1. (Did you know AS2 code actually compiles down to the same bytecode as AS1? Now AS3 is something that takes a bit of retooling<http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html>:-) I just checked my bookshelf, and other than the book above, I am not finding any more recent titles with Video Chat examples. Most excitement around Video Chat in Flash found its outlet when Flash Communications Server was first released. So most sample apps are of the MX, AS1 vintage. And the V1 Communication Components provided by Macromedia have never been updated. There are now some examples around Flex 2, but those are AS3. hth, g On 9/24/06, greg h <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Mike, I believe a server is required for video chat with Flash. Either Flash Media Server or Red5. The sample apps for Flash Media Server include a "Video Conference" app, which is essentially video chat. You can download the sample apps here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html Most books on Flash Media Server (and it's predecessor Flash Communications Server) include examples. For example, Chapter 14 of the book "Macromedia MX: Building Rich Internet Applications" by Robert Reinhardt and Simon Allardice details "Creating a Video Instant Messenger" and the included CD has all the code. Used copies are inexpensive at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Macromedia-MX-Building-Internet-Applications/dp/0321158814/ There are also prebuilt components you can buy, and even hosted Flash video chat services that you can add to your site. If details on any of these other options would be helpful, please post back on this thread regarding what you would like more details on. hth, g On 9/23/06, Batista Mihai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello!
