Flash Media Server (FMS) is a proprietary data and media server from Adobe Systems (originally a Macromedia product). This server works with the Flash Player runtime to create media driven, multiuser RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). The server uses ActionScript 1, an ECMAScript based scripting language, for server-side logic. Prior to version 2, it was known as Flash Communication Server.
Usage
* Video on Demand, streaming video stored on the server to the flash client.
* Live Video, a server-side application which allows user to broadcast their own video from a webcam on website with live stream Flash video player to other users or to the server for recording and on demand viewing later.
* Real Time Communication, an application which requires collaboration between multiple clients, such as a chat room or multiplayer game.
