Creating a development environment

This section explains what you need to know before you create Flash Media Server
applications.
Make sure the server is running
must be running. For more information, see

that is running the Flash Media Server. If that isn't the case, add your server name to all of the
commands documented here. For example, if your server is running at
connect

to this:
new_nc.connect("rtmp://myServer.myDomain.com/doc_record/room_01");
Be sure you use two slashes (//) after rtmp: in the revised code. The use of a single slash
is supported only when the SWF application is served from the same computer where
Flash Media Server is running.
