Chaining streams between 2 media server

Question

Hi i'm trying to setup a stream chaining between 2 flash
media servers.
Basically I have an swf that streams my camera to FS Server
1. In FS Server 1, i have the following code in the main.asc
application.onConnect = function(client, username){
gFrameworkFC.getClientGlobals(client).username = username;
application.acceptConnection(client);
application.onConnectAccept = function(client, username){
application.myRemoteConn.connect("rtmp://10.0.0.23/myapp");
// Connect to FS2
application.myRemoteConn.onStatus = function(info){
if (info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success" &&
application.myRemoteConn.isConnected){
application.myStream = Stream.get("foo");
if (application.myStream) {
application.myStream.play("me_live", 0, -1, true,
application.myRemoteConn);
The stream is created in FS1, and I can view it if I connect
to it with an SWF client. On the FS2 server (the server FS1 does a
NetConnection to), I can see a client connection in the Clients tab
but thats about it. If I try to connect to the FS2 server, there is
no stream displaying on the SWF client. (The SWF client just
contains a Video object which connects to the FS stream.)
Any ideas please? This may sound like a silly question, but
I'm fairly new to server side action script.
Does any one have any sample code? Is there an alternate
method of chaining a stream? I've thoroughly searched the docos but
no luck.
Thanks again.

hi jay,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes I was actually trying that
method aswell, obviously incorrectly. My AS code on the FS2 was
this:
application.onAppStart = function(){
trace("application start called. create server side
connection");
application.remConn = new NetConnection();
application.remConn.connect("rtmp://10.0.0.77/myapp"); //
this connects to the FS1 server where a stream
// called me_live is being published
application.remConn.onStatus = function (info) {
trace("info is "+info.code);
application.myStream = Stream.get("me_live"); // this stream
is being streamed by the SWF client with a camera.
// the stream is correctly being published. i could view
this with
// another SWF client that just retrieves the video
if (application.myStream){
trace("playing stream");
application.myStream.play("me_live", -1, -1, false,
application.remConn);
I know that theres quite a number of errors on the above
code. I would've figured though that the the Stream class has a
method to retrieve a remote stream, or even in the NetConnection
object (something like
application.remConn.Stream.get("streamname")) - but of course it
can't be that easy!! Is there way of doing this? Thanks again for
your help.
