Hi, I'm currently building a portal site based on Flash and since I'm relatively new to the "Flash remoting world" I have some questions which I couldn't find answers to yet while browsing the Wiki or the mailing list archives. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction!
I use Red5 as Flash Media Server replacement. Before that I experimented a some time with AMFPHP but it didn't seem to provide any method of pushing data from Server to Client (only polling of the clients through the gateway), so I switched to Red5. Now my questions: - Are Flash Media Server and Flash Remoting either or technologies (i.e. Flash Media Server can do everything that Remonting can, plus more) or do they extend each other? Sorry for my ignorance, I couldn't find an answer to this yet. - Is it feasible to transfer bigger chunks of data via the NetConnection object? Or should I still use AMFPHP for this? In particular: if I want to provide an image upload, which technique would be feasible? - When sending data over a NetConnection I can't get information on how much of the data has been received/sent yet, right? (at least the same as this is possible for loadVars) - Does anyone know how well Red5 scales (with regard to user load) in comparison to AMFPHP? - Has anyone experience in using other server side techniques such as haXe or OpenAMF? How good is the performance/scalability in these cases? Thanks a lot for your help!
