Connecting to FMS from Flex?

I posted this over in the Flex forums and haven't gotten a peep in two days... I'm trying to connect to an FMS server with a Flex application. I can throw the rtmp URL straight in as the source for a VideoPlayer and it will work, but can't figure out how to get it to work with a NetStream. The pure Flash Video element works as in the FMS Flash demos, but is extremely laggy and lacks all the nice functionality of the built VideoPlayer.
Is there any documentation on working with FMS with Flex? We're at a point where we need to decide quickly if FMS will do what we need to do or if we should purse other technologies.
Thanks

You can try OSMF instead of using Video Component , below links might help you understand OSMF

Can't connect to MySQL from Flex

Hi,
I just started learning Flex a week ago and I'm still a noob
in this area.
I recently discovered about Cairngorm and tried to understand
it.
I managed to understand the Cairngorm diagram and applied
that in my "Login" function.
My problem is when I define a database connection to MySQL, I
would get error in my Flex application, but when i define static
variable the whole application would work just fine.
The error is "NetConnection.call.failed: HTTP:failed"
I'm using Zend Amf as the server.
Please tell me what is the problem. Thanks!
Regards,
Joni
============ Edit ================
I'm sorry,
I just did some fix and this is the more specific details.
If I use this code in my PHP
mysql_connect(DBHOST, DBUSER, DBPASS);
mysql_select_db(DBNAME);
$query = "SELECT * FROM school";
$result = mysql_query($query);
return "test";
Flex would be able to "get" the return value.
But if I used this code
mysql_connect(DBHOST, DBUSER, DBPASS);
mysql_select_db(DBNAME);
$query = "SELECT * FROM school";
$result = mysql_query($query);
return $result;
Flex would get an error.
Please help.
Thanks.
Regards
Joni

I am not a php guy really so here is what I would do in this
situation. Using the Flex Builder data wizard, I would generat a
crud appliation against the mySQL table and see how the resulting
php code returns data back to flex.

Can't connect to FMS from local network machine

Hi,
I have done the FMS developer setup on one machine say 100.188.34.28 and accessing the media from third server, modified the VOD_DIR . I was able to stream the flv video till yesterday using the rtmp i.e rtmp://100.188.34.28:1935/vod/sample.
But today I am not able to do the rtmp streaming on the same and other machine on the same network.
I am able to ping the machine(100.188.34.28) and telnet(telnet 100.188.34.28 1935) the machine also. But not able to stream the video using rtmp.
Please let me know if I am missing anything?
Thanks & Regards,
Anjali Rawat

Hi,
This post is similar to the post http://forums.adobe.com/message/137559.
If we uninstall the FMS server and install it again then it resolves the issue, we will be able to stream using rtmp. This is not feasible to uninstall the FMS everytime and setup the files again to point to the third server to access the media.
Anyone please suggest to resolve this issue?
Thanks & Regards,

How to stream video from FCS/FMS on Flex 2.0?

Has anyone figured out how to stream video from FCS/FMS on
FLEX 2.0?
I've been working with all the sample code I can find,
especially the
FLEX 2.0 samples found in the Adobe documentation, but I'm
having a heck of a time getting any of them to work.
If any one has any working code that streams video from
FCS/FMS using
FLEX 2.0 that I can work with I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

of the video after you have a successful NetConnection.

I do know whats the exact problem. Also i will stop the iptables in linux but no use. Please any idea, its worthful.
thanx and regards

Hi Nikhil,
Appreciate your reply.
Both Firewall and the SELinux are disabled. But still cannot access the FMS
Server using http://ip-address. Windows installation works perfectly. But
still I can Telnet to port 80,1935 and 111 in the Linux installation. This
is weird. I don't know why the only the Linux setup is not working. Any
idea that I need to change any configuration in the Linux setup? Here is
the Linux version I've installed,

Error Connecting to FMS

Hi all,
I'm new to streaming and I was asked to setup a live webcasting that will go 'inside' the company.
We do have a FMS running (not sure which version honestly) and I was given the information for the primary and backup entry points alongside the login and password to connect to them. I downloaded the Encoder (version 3.0) and used the information that I was given.
When I start the streaming I'm getting the error messages that are in the images below. I suspect it's a problem with the firewall or proxy we are using (as the FMS machines are not inside our LAN), if so do I need to open port 554 or port 7070?
Is there something else I need to check to make sure this is just an issues with firewall permissions?
Thank you
David
PS

As you could connect to FMS, firewall is not an issue. As soon as you start publish you got disconnected. Did this happen every time or just once or twice? FMLE throws this message because of following reasons:
1. Incorrect URL ( server doesn't exist) - but you could connect, so rule out this case.
2. Connection time out - while making connection if FME doesn't get a response in ~ 30 sec - but u could connect, so rule out this case.
3. Stream is busy - the stream name on which you are trying to publish is already in use (some one else is also publishing to the same location) - you can also rule out this case, because you didn't receive a "Netstream.publish.badname" error in the logs.
4. Internet connection problem - this could be a possible reason for the case.
FMLE will automatically reconnect and republish when the connection comes back.
You can also enquire whether any script at FMS is restricting you from publishing.
Let me know if you are able to solve the problem.

Slow non-local connection to fms

Hi,
I have the following problem:
when connecting to my FMS application from the web - it takes
about 2 minutes to make the connection (I see it in the fms2
management console, for example).
when connecting locally - it's pretty fast (1 second).
I am Connecting via a router, and I opened ports 1935 and 80,
in the router, and in the adaptor.xml. No firewall.
Any ideas?
Thanks Joe

StageVideo usage from Flex Application?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying out new StageVideo class and if I add it pure AS3 project everything works perfect.
But if I try to use the same code in Flex project I get no video output, but looks like the video itself is playing ('cos I can hear the sound track).
I've tried to remove everything from mxml file to make sure nothing covers video, tried to remove all background changes and etc. (put here any other stuff that might overlay stage), but nothing helped.
Is it possible to use StageVideo from Flex app at all? May be there's some trick to it?
Can someone help? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I guess there is no way to attach files to this post. I made the main app an Application instead of a ViewNavigatorApplication for simplicity sake. It's a basic mobile application project for an ipad, so in Flash Builder just create a basic project using that profile and drop these in. I appreciate you taking a look at it.
thx

Passing null/empty values from Flex to a Coldfusion ORM object

This is the situation.
If you have an actionscript VO that binds to a Coldfusion ORM object via the RemoteClass metadata and some of the values are not set, null, or empty strings and you pass it from Flex to Coldfusion then the Coldfusion deserialization barfs saying the values are not acceptable date values (for type="date") or valid emails (for validation="email") or other such validations, even if required="false" on the property.
For instance, if you have the following actionscript VO:
package vo
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.companyname.Person")]
    [Bindable]
    public class Person
        public var person_id:Number;
        public var last_name:String;
        public var first_name:String;
        public var email:String;
        public var created_date:date;
     public function Person() {}
And you have the corresponding Coldfusion component:
<cfcomponent displayname="person" output="false"
    alias="com.companyname.Person"
    schema="dbo" persistent="true"
    table="PERSON">
    <cfproperty name="person_id" type="numeric" fieldtype="id" validate="integer" required="true" column="PERSON_ID"/>
    <cfproperty name="last_name" type="string" column="LAST_NAME" required="true"/>
    <cfproperty name="first_name" type="string" required="true" column="FIRST_NAME"/>
    <cfproperty name="email" type="string" validate="email" required="false" column="EMAIL"/>
    <cfproperty name="date_created" type="date" required="false" column="DATE_CREATED"/>
</cfcomponent>
Then if you pass the actionscript VO as is to Coldfusion, the deserialization complains that you do not have a valid email or a valid date for date_created. This is bad, bad, bad. Essentially if you have a validation of certain types (email being one) or a date property, or probably some other cases, then you essentially can not make it not required, it automatically makes it required because the Coldfusion serializer considers null/empty values as invalid dates or emails. But the serializer should not care for values that are not required, there has to be a way to pass null/empty values to these data types, but apparently there's not. If you pass an empty string ("") you still have the same problem. I know Coldfusion does not have null values, but there has to be a way to do this, otherwise it defeats the purpose of having required="false" and some kind of validation on the property.
There seems to be two ways around it. One is to override the implicit setters for the properties on the Coldfusion side and check for 0 length values yourself, then set the property if it is not, or create your own validation routine. I ended up creating my own validation function since I didn't want to have to write a setter function for everyone of these cases and I can pass back user friendly validation messages.
Have other people encountered this problem? How have you gotten around it? Thanks.

Looks like a known workaround to this issue is to wrap the Flex object in an array.
The ColdFusion CFC will accept that as an array, with the first an only element being a struct, which is the object you built in Flex.

How to get Checkbox Value from Flex in PHP.

Hi,
I need to know how to get a checkbox value from flex in PHP-POST/GET because I don't know what is the value property of a checkbox in flex.
Please Help.

Hi,
It is very simple. Follow the steps below to achieve the solution,
1. Write a check-box change event to capture the value of the check box. Store this value in a variable(say bolChkSelected:Boolean).
2. In step 1 you got the value of the check box. Now your aim is to send the value to php. Declare a httpService in your flex application(i think you are aware of using it).Ok..im writing it
<mx:HTTPService id="sampleService" resultFormat='e4x' url='http://yourdomain/file.php' result='handleResult()' fault='handleFault()'>
</mx:HTTPService>
3. Now the actual solution... u need to send the shcStatus in to php..
Declare an object to hold the data
var objparameters:Object={};
objparameters['CheckBoxdata'] = bolChkSelected;
--in the above line... 'CheckBoxdata' is used as a parameter to php..you shud have the same variable name while accessing in php file also..
in php file..
checkboxstatus = $_POST[''CheckBoxdata''];
echo checkboxstatus
thats it..

Remote access VPN clients connected to Internet from VPN

Greetings,
I need to let remote VPN clients to connect to Internet from the same ASA VPN server
" client connects to ASA through VPN tunnel from outside interface then access Internet from the same ASA from outside interface again
thanks

you'll need to configure 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface' on the ASA .
Also, need to setup the corresponding nat statements for your clients pool range.
i.e.
global (outside) 1 interface
nat (outside) 1 access-list anyconnectacl
where anyconnectacl is the pool for your clients:
access-list anyconnectacl permit ip 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 any
