Preview of Development Tasks

The following checklist provides a high-level overview of the tasks you must complete for any
application to work with Flash Media Server. Each of these tasks is discussed in this chapter in
more detail, so you should read this entire chapter.
To create and deploy a Flash Media Server application, complete the
following tasks:
1. Select a name for your new application (for example, my_app) and register the application
with the server: in the Flash Media Server applications directory, create a new directory
with the name of your application.
This name is your registered application name. The directory is your registered application
directory.
2. In Flash, create a FLA file that includes a new NetConnection statement with the registered
application name and, if applicable, the application instance in the URI.
For example:
my_nc = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://myDomain.com/registered_app_name");
This statement connects the client to the registered_app_name application.
3.
Save the FLA file with your registered application name.
You can store the FLA file anywhere; it is a source file used to create the SWF and is not
part of the deployed application.
4. If you have a script file that contains server-side ActionScript, put it in the registered
application directory in the Flash Media Server applications directory or a /scripts
directory, which you create, within the registered application directory.
Your server-side script file can be named main.asc or registered_app_name.asc.
