INTRODUCTION

About This Manual

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX 1.5 enables one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-

one, and many-to-many communication in real time between applications created in

Macromedia Flash MX. Developers create these applications using ActionScript, a scripting

language based on the same standard used by the JavaScript language.

Flash Communication Server MX communicates with the Flash Player using the Real-Time

Messaging Protocol (RTMP), an unencrypted TCP/IP protocol designed for high-speed

transmission of audio, video, and data messages. Because RTMP packets often aren’t allowed

through a firewall, Flash Communication Server can also wrap RTMP packets in HTTP, using a

protocol called RTMPT (tunnelled RTMP).

This manual describes how to configure and manage Flash Communication Server to support

communication applications deployed on a variety of network configurations. The rest of this

chapter provides system requirements, describes the Flash Communication Server

documentation, and lists additional resources.

Flash Communication Server enables applications to communicate with other servers. This

manual does not discuss web server and application server management or server operating system

setup.

Intended audience

This manual is aimed at system administrators who will configure and manage Flash

Communication Server to support communication applications. You should already be familiar

with basic network infrastructure and security. You should also have some familiarity with client-

server application models, XML, and JavaScript.

System requirements

Flash Communication Server can be deployed on the following systems:

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Server (SP6 or later), running on a

Pentium III 500 MHz processor or greater (dual Pentium 4 or better recommended).

Windows XP is acceptable for developing and testing applications.

• Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 8.0 running on a Pentium III 500 MHz processor or greater (dual

Pentium 4 or better recommended).

Your deployment system for Flash Communication server applications also requires a minimum

of 256 MB of available RAM (512 MB recommended); 50 MB of available disk space; and a CD-

ROM drive for installation. Depending on your applications, your requirements might be greater

than outlined here.
