CHAPTER 3

Configuring Flash Communication Server

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX 1.5 has been designed to accommodate many

types of communication applications. After installation, the server’s configuration files contain

only simple, generic settings. You’ll need to make some decisions about how to configure it to best

suit your needs.

This chapter describes the server’s initial configuration and the XML files that define the

configuration. It then explains how to edit these files to suit the needs of the client applications

you intend to use.

Typical configurations

Flash Communication Server can be used in a variety of different ways, with different

configurations. In most cases, the server will be used in conjunction with a web server. As

described in Chapter 2, “Managing the Server,” on page 11, applications that run on Flash

Communication Server consist of clients developed in Macromedia Flash MX (SWF files);

directories on the server register the application on the server and contain streams and scripts used

by the application.

Your web server is responsible for serving the SWF client files and the HTML pages in which they

are embedded. In addition, you may use an application server in conjunction with your web

server and Flash Communication Server to incorporate database or other features into your

communication applications.

If you are running Flash Communication Server on a UNIX system, you must also have a

Windows or Macintosh computer with Flash MX to create Flash Communication Server

applications. Your client-side files (SWF and HTML files) for your applications can reside on the

Flash Communication Server computer or another computer, depending on where your web

server is installed. Your source files and server-side scripts (ASC, FLA, FSO, and FLV files) must

reside on the UNIX computer where Flash Communication Server is running.

The following diagrams illustrate some typical deployment scenarios.
