I agree, Macromedia hasn't yet implemented any form of security at that level except using Obscurity. But using the Flash Player to sit there in between two flashcom servers as a proxy isn't yet possible, except if your flash player machine has a screen-reader installed to rebroadcast the stream to a virtual camera.

Obscurity is no form of security is my first response to that. And really when you think about it - it's already possible to do exactly what you have said. A Flash /Player/ already has the ability to subscribe to a FCS/FMS stream - and to publish to a FCS/FMS server. Sit it inbetween 2 FCS servers, and you have yourself a proxy. Nothing new there :) _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
