CHAPTER 4

Application Development Tips and Tricks

This chapter is designed to supplement, not replace, application development and best practices

recommendations included in Using Flash MX. For general information on how Macromedia

Flash MX streams data and how you can test and improve the performance of your Flash movies,

see “Streaming and file optimization techniques for Flash Player” on the Macromedia Flash

Support Site (http://www.macromedia.com/go/flash_stream_optimize).

The rest of this chapter points out some useful information specific to Macromedia Flash

Communication Server MX. It includes general sections on application design, coding

conventions, and debugging techniques, followed by information relevant to specific objects. (All

objects are client-side objects except where noted.)

The best way to use this chapter is to skim it once in its entirety before you begin writing Flash

Communication Server programs, to familiarize yourself with its contents. Then, as you begin

coding, refer to it as needed.

Application design and development

This section includes recommendations that apply to all Flash Communication Server

applications you write.

Designing for portability across servers

If your application (SWF file) is on the same computer that is running the Flash Communication

Server, you can use rtmp:/appName/instanceName as a shortcut version of rtmp://

server.domain.com/appName/instanceName. The use of a single slash followed by the

application name indicates a relative path and lets you move the files to a different server without

changing the code.

Designing for interdependence

Because the client-side and server-side ActionScript code are part of the same application, they

must work interdependently. One example of the interdependency between the client and server

code is the server-side ActionScript

call method, which acts differently according to which

object it is associated with—a client-side NetConnection object or a server-side Client object.
