I assume that you have a basic understanding of Macromedia
Flash MX and are familiar with ActionScript and using components.
Some sections of the article cover creating applications
with components only, which will not require any ActionScript
or detailed knowledge of Macromedia Flash.
Here's what I cover: connecting to Flash Communication
Server MX, using remote shared objects, using the basic
Drawing API, and building an application with Flash Communication
Server components.
Before you get started, you need to have access to a server
running Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX in order
to test and build the applications in this tutorial. If
you don't already have it, you can install a trial
version on your local machine or development environment.
The Whiteboard component, which you can download
from the Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX Components
page, lets multiple people draw in real time using lines,
boxes, and text. It works in conjunction with other components,
such as SimpleConnect, and integrates directly with the
server-side
framework, which provides the server-side code and functionality
to support the client side of Flash Communication Server
MX components.
