hey guys, sorry for the short notice but this is pretty time-sensitive. I am working on a video service that asks for local files from a host computer.
what we have set up is a site with a flash player, and the user passes the player some flashvars that indicate the unique name of the video. the flash in turn connects to a local client via one port nad asks for the video data. the client is receiving the request and sending the data, and we have the crossdomain.xml set up, but the player is not playing. the problem may originate from the fact that the url flash looks to does not end in .fla, it is just 127..0.0:8090?params here. i will try to wrap the url to look something like this 127.0.0.1:8090/flash.flv?paramshere and see if that fixes the problem.
(sorry for the long intro, i think it was required)
what i am wanting to know is definitively what is flash remoting and could it be utilized for something like this, sending binary data to a player and having flash realize it is movie content?
i looked online and didnt find much help, so i am hoping you guys can provide some guidance
