How Flash Communication Server works

The Flash Communication Server platform comprises the server that provides the means of

communication and a Flash application (a SWF file that runs in Macromedia Flash Player) that

provides the end user’s interface. You use the Flash MX authoring tool as your development

environment to create applications that use Flash Communication Server services. You can also

use server-side scripting to add functionality to your application.

Communications pass through Flash Communication Server and are delivered to the client—the

Flash Player on a user’s computer. When a Flash movie uses Flash Communication Server, the

player connects to the server, which provides a flow of information, called a network stream, to

and from the client. Other users can connect to the same server and receive messages, data

updates, and audio/video streams.

You can design Flash Communication Server applications so that the Flash Communication

Server and the application server communicate with each other. Flash Communication Server can

talk to other application servers such as Macromedia ColdFusion MX Server, Macromedia JRun,

Microsoft® .NET Framework, IBM WebSphere, and Apache Tomcat. For a more detailed

explanation, see Developing Communication Applications.
