Newbie trying to connect

[Lleoun]

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect to Flash Media Server 3, but I don't know how. Please help!!
Below is waht I've done so far .. but I don't know if it's correct.

Thanks a million in advance!



myConnection = new NetConnection();





myConnection.connect("rtmp://localhost");




myConnection.onStatus = function(infoObj) {

switch (infoObj.code) {

case "Netconnection.Connect.Success" :

trace("success");

case "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" :

trace("failed");

case "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected" :

trace("rejected");

case "NetConnection.Connect.InvalidApp" :

trace("Invalid App");

case "NetConnection.Connect.Closed" :

trace("Closed");

case "NetConnection.Connect.AppShutDown" :

trace("AppShutDown");

}

};

Hi Lleoun, I not much of an expert in FMS but i think what u got wrong is the netConnection.connect part.

myConnection=new NetConnection();
myConnection.connect("rtmp://localhost/app_name");

Thanks a lot redeath .. but I'm still so new to this .. I have my fla with the connecting code then I call rtmp://localhost/app_name .. what should it be in app_name? What is what app_name does exactly? Why Flash Player thinks the application is not secure when I publish the connecting code? Where can I configure this?

I guess I'm still totally lost with Flash CS3: actionscript and design can be together in the same fla or should I call an external file containing the actionscript code?? If so, how can it be called?

Many thanks once again!

Lleoun, you may wan to reference to this site to help u.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/index.html

It help me a lot looking at the examples they provide, but some u need to becareful as there are some typo and bad examples though.

Anyway app_name is ur application name in ur FMS.

in ur FMS installed folder there is a "applications" folder so in those folder are all ur applications. By default there are 2 folders live and vod. So if u are connecting to live application for instance ur code will be something like this:

myConnection.connect("rtmp://localhost/live");

As for the design of flash, i'm no much of an expert to tell u, I jus started on AS and flash for 1 week only. :P and i'm mainly doing on server-side AS more. But for the only player i written the source contain of a FLA and an AS. In CS3 as long as ur AS has the target set to the FLA then it is link sorry i dun remember how i got it to link.
