It works also with swf7 target so I suppose it should work with older flash palyers. But to be honest I haven't tried it with anything older than Flash 9. Since you brought red5 up, it's now a battle between a Laszlo/Red5/RTMP > approach, and a Laszlo/Comet/Dojo approach.

Here's a big question. Is it possible to deploy the red5/rtmp server to a > different machine than the LPS and not run into cross browser communication > issues?

Flash connect directly to the provided IP (rtmp://somesite.org/myapp) ... Where it got served from is totally unimportant. There is one thing you should be aware of though. Rtmp is not exactly firewall-resistant :) Some bigger companies block all outgoing traffic except http. So in such locations this solution is bad, but I really don't consider this service provider's problem. But even if it's in your interest to relieve a couple of poor bored employees, you can use rtmpt (rtmp over http). I'll have to look into this red5/rtmp approach a bit more, but thanks. http://www.openlaszlo.org/pipermail/laszlo-user/2006-November/004721.html http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-2554 Sometimes OpenLaszlo needs a little push to make it go in the right direction :) - Anthony Bargnesi -- lp, Anže
