Building a Simple Live Video Broadcaster and Receiver

Creating the Server-side Application

To set up an application on your Flash Communication Server, all you need to do is to create a folder inside your server's application directory. Most applications will also require some server-side code, usually in the form of a main.asc file. However, since this is a very basic application, you do not need any server-side code at all.

To create your application, simply create a new folder inside your Flash Communication Server application directory, and call it livecast. On Windows, this folder's default location is C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Communication Server MX\applications\.

Note: There is no need to restart your server or vhost at this point. Remember, however, that every time you make changes to any server-side code you must restart the application that you have modified, or else you will not see your code changes reflected in your application logic.
