In answering a question on stack overflow, one person recommended using the following code to detect flash server-side, he pointed out that it does not work in safari:
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/x-shockwave-flash')){
$hasFlash = true;}
Testing for Flash capability on the server-side. My question: why does it not work in safari, and how reliably does it work with other browsers?
Has anyone been able to get bandwidth detection to work using the flvplayback control (client side - using AS3)? I have successfully got it to work using the video component with bwcheck and bwdone but I need to figure out how to do this with the FLV playback control. I am using FMS 3 and do not want to use the native bandwidth detection that comes with FMS. I need to detect the clients bandwidth and set the buffer time and what bitrate of a video (high, medium, low) I provide to a user based on their bandwidth.
In other words, is there an equivialant of bwcheck and bwdone that the flv playback can hook into to detect the client's bandwith?
I want to download files from the server side to client side without prompting a window to the user to download when any updates happen at server side.Right now I am using urlstream class but first file is downloading completely rest of the files contents downloading partially.

I want to create an application that has these features
- At client side: Display a list of images, when user click on one image, data will be stored in MySQL database.
- At server side: Manage images used in client side, I can delete, add new images.
Is this possible for me to achieve this using Flex? And if it is able, will my output be 2 separate SWF files? And where can I find the materials to read on writing such applications?
Below is the code. When the swf is connected to FMS(the connection is successful) I use this application.user_so.send("enterContestGroup"); to call the client side mothed. You can see that in the client side I have defined the "enterContestGroup" mothed. However the fact is it doesn't call that mothed. Can anybody tell me what the error is
application.onAppStart = function(){ application.user_so = SharedObject.get("user_so", false); application.nextId = 0;}application.onConnect = function(newClient) application.acceptConnection(newClient);

can you write and modify XML files using server-side Actionscript? I've been going through Adobe's Server-side Actionscript reference, reading up on the File class that lets you modify files on the server, and the server-side XML class that lets you read and 'understand' XML data, but can you put them together and essentially edit XML files on the server?

(I'm refering to just the Super Mario Bros. game). If Mario hits the box from the sides or top nothing will break or come out of the box. How do you do that in Actionscript 3.0.

I use Red5 server 0.9.1 for live streaming from Adobe Flash player to my RTMP protocol transport.I test it with audio data captured from my microphone using flash application and for now transport recieves and recognizes audio packets. For further audio data listening I need to know what audio codec Flash player uses to send data to the Red5 server.Transport doesn't recieve any metadata packets with detailed information about media codec. All I know for now from "connect" message is that publishing side supports the set of audio and video codecs.

View 1 RepliesWe're thinking about purchasing the Flash Media Streaming Server Edition and we have some doubts after looking this edition comparision: [URL]..
1.- It says the streaming edition doesn't have server side play list. Does it mean this version doesn't come with a native application for making playlist on the server side? Could I write an AS application (As I've done with developer edition) to implement server side playlists??
2.- How about the clustering? Could we install an instance of FMS in several servers to make them work as a cluster?

I have two software to create with AIR: a server and a client. Both with AS3 and AIR.I want to avoid having a big architecture with Remote Shared Object, or using BlazeDS, or having to set a Java / Python / ... server in the middle.In order to avoid having to parse socket data in the server and in the client side, I thought about using XMLSocket on the client side: the data arrives in a way which is already parsed by the Flash framework.However, when I use this XMLSocket with the AIR ServerSocket, the "connect" event returns me a raw Socket on the server side. So I have to manually manage the XML data on the server side.
Is there a way to also use an XMLSocket on the server side to communicate with the client? A kind of trick to convert the returned Socket into an XMLSocket?If there is an AS3 library which manages that, I did not find it.
We are building a Flash application for client use but will need to do server side processing of images. All our expertise and application code is in Java, but I've been told Dot Net has better Flash support. This is general but we will be modifying large (up to 50MB) image files. The idea is that what we could do in Flash should be duplicated, automated and extended on the server side.

View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of flash videos that I need to watermark with user related information, to make illegal re-distribution of these files harder.I'm wondering how can this be done server-side. If done client-side, it will be quite easy for the user to intercept the videos before they are watermarked.Since the watermark should contain user-specific information I can't really watermark the videos before encoding them (unless I have an encoded video per user - not feasible).I'm expecting this to affect the streaming performances a lot, though

Can I use AS3 SDK to implement the Wordnik API without having server side access?
