Need help - want to give it a try

[smalco64]

Hi,

Before purchasing the Flash Comm, I first wanted to see whether the apps are suited for my use. I downloaded thee Free Dev and have installed the files on my PC.

I've uploaded the sample_guestbook to my host server, but in ordre to get the connection, I need to configure the rtmp using my IP. Is this correct? Still I can't manage to connect.

Could someone point me out how to make this work from a PC.

Thanks,
Smalco

In the sample file, find the simple_connect component and change the rtmp to:

rtmp://yourip/sample_guestbook

basically, if the server isn't running on the same machine as the webserver, you have to use "rtmp://" instead of "rtmp:/".


psx

Psychlonex,

Thanks very much, managed to get it to work.

If you don't mind I still have one more question. I tried to get the sample_panel_presentation to work, but I can't seem to find the rtmp line in the script.

Do you know where I can change it ?

Thx,
Smalco

I don't think I've ever touched that example... if it's not on the SimpleConnect component, check on the main timeline for something that looks like:

nc.connect("rtmp:/sample_panel_presentation");

psx

I found it. Works fine.

Thanks very much for your help.
