I've > downloaded Red5, but haven't had time to try it out. Hi Scott, I have experience with it as I'm part of the Red5 team developing the product. The main difference between Red5 and a server like Electro server is that Red5 supports many types of protocols (RTMP, AMF, XML-RPC, XMLSocket (soon to come)), where as ElectroServer only uses the XMLSocket connection built into Flash. RTMP allows you to steam video and audio to and from the Flash player making video chat applications possible. You can't do that with XMLSocket. The other nice thing about Red5 is its ability to tap into other server-side APIs very easily, so one example might be an existing MMO game server engine could be used with Flash using Red5 as a sort of proxy. At any rate I'm not too familiar with ElectroServer, so I'm not comfortable comparing them feature by feature. ElectroServer certainly looks like it has a nice client side API though (just based on what I saw on their website). Something like that for Red5 doesn't exists at the moment, but there's no reason why someone couldn't easily create one and wrap the NetConnection stuff like they have with XMLSocket. I hope that helps a little. If you have more questions please ask and I suggest that you sign up on the Red5 mailing list as there are many more experienced people that will help you there. -Chris _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
