External Authentication with AFCS
May 12th, 2009
This videotutorial takes Adobe Flash Collaboration Service to the next level. By enabling custom login or external authentication makes your AFCS applications far more useful in your own systems. So you don’t need to use Acrobat.com credentials to access your app, but you can use your own user database or LDAP service to check login details and then grant users different rights/roles.
Prerequisites:
- Understand Zend_AMF and PHP basics - see videotutorial (by Lee Brimelow)
- Running PHP server with Zend Framework
- AFCS SDK - http://afcs.acrobat.com
- afcs.php - part of AFCS SDK (extras/scripts/afcs.php)
Duration: 12:40

March 27th, 2009
This video tutorial will guide you through the process of creating Flex Video Player utilizing latest Flash Player 10 feature - Multi-Bitrate Dynamic Streaming - in connection with Flash Media Server 3.5.
Download DynamicStream and DynamicStreamItem classes at FMS Tools Page
Flex Project source files download
Requirements:
- - Flash Media Server 3.5 - download
- - Flex SDK 3.3 - download
- - Flash Player 10 - download

Note: If you want to test DynamicStream properly, you would probably need to shape your network traffic bandwidth. For this purpose, I propose you to download NoobProof utility, which uses IPFW on Mac or NetLimiter for Windows.
