How to live stream vp6 from a browser/swf file.

Question

Hello,
Currently we have a swf file application that runs in a browser and takes the live video stream from the camera on the computer and streams a live sorenson spark stream to the fms 3.5 server.
Question is:
How to live stream vp6 from the browser/swf file on the camera computer, instead of the sorenson spark. (We seem to be stuck only on sorenson spark).
Thank you.

Hi Vince,
Jay has explained it about as best as can be done.  What you have now is a
SWF that lives in a browser.  With Flix, you can eliminate the SWF
altogether.  Or if there is logic that still will require the SWF, then both
Flix and the SWF will live in the browser at the same time (and can talk via
ExternalInterface).
fyi .. When using Flix, if Flix does not eliminate the SWF altogether, you
will remove from your SWF all logic for acquiring Camera and Microphone.  As
Jay has reiterated, Flix Publisher will now be doing all that.
If your SWF includes logic other than video/audio, e.g. maybe text chat,
then you may need logic in your SSAS to associated the video from Flix with
anything else from the SWF since each will have its own NetConnection to the
FMIS application.
In case it might help, following is On2's heavily commented JavaScript for
invoking Flix Publisher:
