RE: [flexcoders] Ideas / input greatly appreciated
Okay.. Let me elaborate a little more.. The requirement is that instructors and students are connected one to one.. And see/control each others desktop. Flashlight-VNC is a VNC Viewer / Player written in Flash. It can connect to a VNC server. wouldn't that mean that all users need to install a vnc server for it to work? Also only the top 2 versions of acrobat connect pro have options for customization and as far as I have been told the annual subscription for connect pro is 50K USD --Allan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeffry Houser Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 10:53 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Ideas / input greatly appreciated I have no idea what the costs are, but did you try googling "Customize Connect": http://www.google.com/search?source=ig <http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=customize+Connect&btn G=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=> &hl=en&rlz=&=&q=customize+Connect&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= Allan Pichler wrote: Hi all.

RE: [flexcoders] Ideas / input greatly appreciated
Teamviewer is not an option since it costs $800 pr. Concurrent session. I should have been more specific, I probably need to support around 20-30 concurrent sessions. Can I launch acrobat connect in a separate "window" from within my flex app and possibly have flex listen for events in the adobe connect.. So I can force focus back to the flex app when the user closes the connect window --Allan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Winscot Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 10:30 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Ideas / input greatly appreciated You can create an account that allows 3 people to connect... for free (has this changed?). By 'tall order' I mean... 1. You cannot view a users desktop from Flash, Flex, or AIR 2.

Hi all. I'm trying to find a low cost solution to do 1<->1 screen sharing/remote control, preferably inside a flex application, alternatively as a popup window. The application also need some other collaboration widgets, so I was looking at Acrobat Connect, but I can't find any information about customization of the user interface and adding new pods.
