Hiya

I'm doing some quick feasibility study for our project using FCS 1.5.

I hope this can be answered with simple yes / no so I don't need to
bother you for long.

1) I need to record from a webcam to the FCS server as individual files.
(yes / no)

2) those files are flv / swf and can play back on version 6 if swf and 7
if flv?=20

3) using actionscript (serverside) I can manipulate those files:

a) move them to other folders
b) reencode=20
c) delete them (from a call from a secure client)

4) (the main thing, as I think most of that answers are yes anyway):=20
Is it possible from within serverside actionscript to call and
external script / webservice (ie like a .NET page) and get it's return?
(it's easy in flash but not sure if serverside it is possible).

5) in those lines: is it possible to then to run external (FFMPEG) from
within?

6) it's capable of being on the same server that serves php / mysql (Ie
I want the data for all the video stuff except the files to be in a
database)

The total idea is just that I wanna record the camera and play them
later but be able to search the files using metadata that is stored in
mySQL. Ie: FCS is really only used to create the FLV (it doesn't even (
I think) need to be streaming them back (HTML only is good enough).

Hope you care to help - don't wanna waste my time if it's not possible.=20

1.  Yes, you can record from a webcam to FCS
2.  You cannot record as SWF, only FLV, but Flash 6 can play FLVs
3.  You can (I believe) delete the files, but you cannot move or
reencode them without another server-side technology
4.  You can call .NET DLLs or ASPX pages with Flash Remoting from the
server-side
5.  Probably, no experience w/ this though
6.  Again, probably, but I have no experience with this either

it's ok

only .flv but can be played on 6 (with FCS) and on 7 & 8 without =20
(progressive download)

a) FCS : with server side language other than SSAS (ie Java or PHP) / =20=

FMS2 : using the new File class

yes it is using remoting server side

yes it is. you can generate jpg thumbnails doing this or reencode =20
your FLV files (without sound... no way for this)

yes. just be carefull about the bandwith of your server... FCS takes =20
a lot
