Introducing Flash Media

Server

Macromedia Flash Media Server 2 is a development framework and a deployment

environment for rich media applications. Developers can use Macromedia Flash and Flash

Media Server to write media applications, and then use Flash Media Server to deploy the

applications. Macromedia Flash Player is the end user’s interface.

Overview of Flash Media Server

Flash Media Server provides you with streaming media capabilities and a powerful, flexible

development environment. This enables you to create and deliver a wide range of interactive

media applications. Use Flash Media Server to create traditional media delivery applications

such as video-on-demand, live web event broadcasts, or MP3 streaming. You can also design

communication applications like video blogging, video messaging, and multimedia chat

environments. Flash Media Server is part of Macromedia’s complete solution for database

connectivity, directory systems, and presence services, and is the only server that can deliver

audio and video to the popular Flash Player.

About the Flash Media Server

CHAPTER 1

Installing Flash Media Server

Installing Macromedia Flash Media Server 2 is a straightforward process. This chapter

provides the systems requirements, the steps to install the server on Windows or Linux, and

and a list of installed files.

extensions on your authoring computer to help you write and manage media applications in

Macromedia Flash. For information about installing the authoring extensions on a Macintosh

or Windows computer, please see the Macromedia website at www.macromedia.com/go/

flashmediaserver_en.

NOTE

Software designed to make network connections mimic modems or DSL lines in order

to save bandwidth, such as NetLimiter, can intercept system calls and break Flash

parameter is incorrect” appears. Before installing Flash Media Server, remove this type

of software. Also, do not install this type of software after Flash Media Server is installed.

You may use this type of software on the client, but do not use it on the same machine as

the server.
