FlashCom expert?

[Ron Selling]

Hello, I'm a bachelor-student from Amsterdam, Holland and as part of my graduation I'm investigating the (im)possibilities and usefulness of Macromedia Flash Communication Server. Therefor I'd like to get in touch with people who either worked extensively with FlashCom or a similar product. A similar product could be anything as long as it deals with one of FlashCom main features; client-server communication within Flash, projects like AMF-PHP don't fit to this. I'd like to get in touch with people who worked with socket-servers like Moock.org's Unity or Swocket. I haven't seen any non-Macromedia Flash-webcam solutions yet, but I would be glad to see some. If you think your opinion is an extra value for my project, would you be so nice to contact me?

Thanks in advance,

Ron Selling

i've done a lotta stuff with PHP socket connections and flash.  as far as i know, it would take a lot to replicate flash comm's audio and video streaming using sockets.  u could not do this in anyway using the flash xml socket object in flash and a socket server, as the xml socket only accepts text strings.  u'd have to build some type of framework which replicates FCS in its communication with flash.
however, u can do a lot with strings, liked developing chats, drawing boards, games.
