Can you explain what job the FMS would do please? Is this required for the recording side of things or the playback?
FMS is short for Flash Media Server. It is what it sounds like, a server application that takes care of media distribution. It handles media storage and letting clients access the media. It both records streams and plays them back.
In addition, the protocol that it uses to comunicate with the player supports Remote Procedure Calls, letting scripting comunicate over the connection as well. The server allows you to add scripting to it's behavior using it's own variant of actionscript, in as 2 style. But you are free to use any language that a standard loadable library module supports if you get sick of that.
There are free clones of it, RED5 being one of the more famous ones. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
