Thanks again for your explanation Chris! So if I'm to understand this right,
whereas a project like AMFPHP supports flash remoting with PHP on the server
side, Red% supports flas remoting with Java on the server
side?Regards,SeanDate: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:41:43 -0600From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: [Red5] Question about AMF Remote ObjectsHey Chris,
Thanks so much for your layman explanation.
This I understand.
In a sense, I have been doing this partially via Shared Objects
which I like very much.
I have heard AMF Gateway mentioned so much that I thought I would
step up to the plate, play dumb and ask the question.
RTMP is basically a SOAP approach, which is good. Sometime persistent
is a good thing.
And the HTTP response is pretty Much a Post and Request item.
This leads me to another question or should I say a request of both camps
that support either AMF via RMPT or AMF via HTTP.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of both?
I will have to admit, I really thought AMF Gateway talking was talking about
connecting
one RED5 server to another RED5 Server and passing items back and forth to each
other
which with either solution I guess is possible.
But again, thanks for your insight and comments.
And I also agree with Jeremy Lu. This is one of the best explanations I have
heard.
Regards,
Lenny

Lenny,Think of AMF like this. It's a binary data format for passing objectsto
and from the Flash player.
You can send these objects over RTMP, which means it's a persistentconnection
over TCP. Things can flow back and forth over thisconnection like a pipe that
allows stuff to flow in both directions.Things in this case are AMF objects.
Most of the examples shipped with
Red5 are using this method.You can also pass AMF objects over HTTP, meaning a
call and responseprotocol. So it goes something like this Flash connects to the
serverand Flash says: "server give me this object", the server responds,
"here it is", and it hands the AMF object to Flash and closes
theconnection.With HTTP there's no way for Flash to be passed something by
theserver without it making a connection again and requesting it. The
down side of RTMP is that the connection is always there taking
upresources.Passing AMF objects like this over HTTP is called "Flash
remoting".I hope my explanation combined with the links that Thijs sent you is
helping.
