calling exe from server side

[sbm7]

Hi All,

I am new to forum also to actionscript. I just installed Flash media server 2 and CS3 flash pro.

I am trying to stream a video from rtmp server. I got a sample which does it beautifully. However, I am stuck with an issue.

When the client connects to the server side script, server needs to run a exe/C library/dll. I am able to use fscommand to run an exe from clients side. But from my understanding, I need projector to do it. So, how can I do the same thing from server side? :eek: Thanks.

The server side script will need to run your program on the server. Flash Player has no way to do that.

Is there a API call? Yes, I want the server side script to init a call to the exe which resides on the flash media server. I tried fscommand or getURL but it doesn't work. Can server side actionscript call external exe? :o

I doubt it. You'll probably need to go through PHP or something.
