macromedia flash flashcom: Hi,

1. can anyone please tell me if i need iis to run media server?
2. can i install media server on windows xp?
3. if i dont have iis and i install meida server what is the server address i
enter into the admin console?

please help

[b]1. can anyone please tell me if i need iis to run media server?[/b]

No. FMS is completely independant, and does not require an http server. You'll
still need an http server to serve your .swf file, but that has nothing to do
with FMS.

[b]2. can i install media server on windows xp?[/b]

Yes.

[b]3. if i dont have iis and i install meida server what is the server address
i enter into the admin console?[/b]

You'd run it locally as a file. If you install on windows to the default
install directory, it will most likely be here:
C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash Media Server 2/fms2_console.htm

Thanks for your support

hi JayCharles

i started learn about flash a year ago and i found my new 'best friends' :)

a can do so many things from a fully flash site to stand-alone courseware.

but then i stumble with FMS (a.k.a flash communication server). so here a my
question:

1) what i have to learn to become a good FMS developer.
2) what a the basic things i need to master in order to xplore FMS
3) what kind of problem i may ecounter in pursue my goal in FMS

some people says "To get a right answer you have to ask the right people".

thanks.
