Hi there, im currently building a flash based webcam broadcatser application in flex 2, basically a windows media encoder in flash with similar functionality.

Its been brought to my attention that we'd need to have a pre-roll feature to preview the live feed before it actually goes live. Ive noticed u can send messages via the connect method, is there a way to tell an application if the broadcatser is previewing or going live and then also notify the client end to either get the live feed or a VOD trailer. Thats the idea anyway.

You could keep it simple and use a SO to keep a property whether the
broadcaster is live publishing or not.  Once the clients receive a
sync for a given value of the SO, they stop the VOD and subscribe the
live stream instead.  This doesn't involve any serverside programming.
