The following is my personal opinion and is sent from my personal account. I'm a long time participant in the p2p-hackers list, but I also happen to be the project lead for the RTMFP work at Adobe, and was one of the two founders of amicima.

However, an enterprising individual did decode the differences between the old and new APIs and posted them in the Flash Player 10 forums (linked from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ ) Also, there is a Flash Media Server prerelease program that gets you to a lot more information about RTMFP (documentation, sample code, servers, and more).

The newly announced "File Reference runtime access" feature in Flash Player 10 allows for save/load to disk without involving a server (previously upload-to-server and download-from-server was supported, but you couldn't just bring the bytes in locally and then save them back out, without sending them up to a server briefly). It does of course require load/save dialogs so that the user is involved in the process. > Basically, are all the components in place to write a Flash-based > zero-install BitTorrent killer? > > The official Adobe response to questions like that is at http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2008/05/16/rtmfp-in-flash-player-10-beta/ Matthew Kaufman [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
