Hello, I found Red5 quiet fascinating. But I couldn't get the whole picture of how it works. I read tutorials. I have good Java skills, and almost no Flesh or ActionScript knowledge. As far as I understood there are several things which Red5 can do:
1. it implements real time messaging protocol (RTMP) so it can stream video/audio, which is probably the main purpose of the Red5 2. it works with shared objects (SO) Client of Red5 is meant to be a Flesh Player and nothing else can be as for now. Red5 can be compiled to JAR and be added to my own WAR, or can be WAR by itself and I can add my code to it. For streaming video/audio to both ways (from server and from client) everything is ready, all I need is to change existing Flesh clients to fit my custom needs or create a new one. Probably I should add few things to Java/Server side to complete my custom requirements. Please correct me or add more info for those statements. Also, I have few general questions: Flesh is a commercial product. I don't have any Flesh IDE. How can I create clients for Red5? Should I buy something from Adobe in order to create clients for Red5? Or there are some open source or free products? What is the best? I cannot find any information of how SO works. What purpose it serves. Could you explain please, or point me to some documentation? Thank you, Gene
