AudioConference
|
| |
The AudioConference
component allows you to create a multiplexed application
that provides simultaneous audio streaming from multiple
users. AudioConference includes a UI for listing users
currently logged into the application, and a Talk button
that allows users to join the conversation. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Cursor |
| |
The Cursor
component shows a mouse pointer (cursor) for each user
connected to an application. As users move their mouse
within the communication application, that movement
is reflected on all user screens. User names appear
next to their own pointer, whose color they can specify. |
| |
|
| 3.
|
PresentationSWF
|
| |
The PresentationSWF
component allows you to create a presentation by showing
a shared version of another SWF file. PresentationSWF
functions in two modes: In speaker mode the user is
the presenter and controls the SWF file so all users
see the same frame simultaneously; in default mode users
are viewers and can navigate the SWF file by using the
Next and Back buttons to view the file asynchronously,
but cannot progress past the point in the presentation
that the speaker has reached. |
| |
|
| 4. |
PresentationText
|
| |
With the PresentationText
component, you can create a shared text presentation.
Like the PresentationSWF component, PresentationText
can act in speaker mode or default mode. Speaker mode
allows users to edit text slides in real-time, change
the current slide, and add or remove slides. Default
mode allows users to view the presentation but not progress
past the point the speaker has reached. |
| |
|
| 5. |
RoomList
|
| |
The RoomList
component is an advanced feature that lets users create,
join, and delete rooms used for chat, meetings, or other
types of applications. RoomList is integral to applications
that require a lobby or that need to manage user access
to applications. Users can then create, join, or delete
rooms. |
| |
|
| 6. |
VideoConference |
| |
The VideoConference
component lets multiple users interact with each other
using audio and video by means of the AVPresence component. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Whiteboard |
| |
The Whiteboard
component lets you create and edit text, boxes, and
lines in a real-time shared environment. To create a
shape, you select a tool and click the Whiteboard area;
you can also drag the shape to a new position or edit
the text. When you press the Delete key, all actively
selected items are deleted. |
| |
|
| 8. |
SimpleConnect |
| |
The SimpleConnect
component handles all your communication object connections.
SimpleConnect also provides an interface for users to
log in to your application. |
| |
|
| 9. |
PeopleList
The PeopleList component is standard in most communication
applications, and provides a list of currently logged-in
users. |
| |
| |
|
| 10. |
ConnectionLight |
| |
The ConnectionLight
component provides visual feedback on the state of the
client connection. The light turns green when connected,
red when disconnected, and yellow if the latency (the
time it takes to send data across the network connection
to and from the server) of the connection is too high.
The light doubles as a button that toggles a display
box, providing detailed information about the connection
(data latency rate and instantaneous upload and download
rates). |
| |
|
| 11. |
UserColor |
| |
The UserColor
component lets users change their selected colors for
components within Macromedia Flash Communication Server
MX applications. When users select a color from the
pull-down menu, other components that show color (such
as Chat components) change color accordingly. |
| |
|
| 12. |
Chat |
| |
You can use
the Chat component to create a chatroom application
or as a component within a larger application, as described
below: |
| |
• |
Regular chatroom:
use the Chat component with the UserColor, PeopleList,
and SimpleConnect components to create a chatroom. |
| |
• |
Useful in every application:
having a Chat component in all your communication applications
is useful. Text communication is efficient and can provide
a backup if audio/video communication is inconvenient
(for example, if a user's computer has slow connections). |
| |
|
| 13.
|
SetBandwidth |
| |
The simple—and
powerful—SetBandwidth component automatically adjusts
the quality of microphones and cameras that are published
to match the available upload bandwidth. You can use
SetBandwidth in all applications that publish live audio
and video. |
| |
|
| 14. |
AVPresence |
| |
The AVPresence
component is a versatile communication component and
can be used to create a virtual presence for users.
The following list describes two ways that you can use
AVPresence: |
| |
• |
Panel discussions: a group
of people can converse before an audience and create
an ongoing debate or presentation. |
| |
• |
Video phone: by using
two AVPresence components in one application, you can
create a video phone application. |
| |
|
| 15. |
VideoPlayback |
| |
The VideoPlayback
component lets you control the playback of a buffered
audio-video stream. You can pause or play the stream,
jump to any position by dragging the playhead, and adjust
the audio level setting. |
| |
|
| 16. |
VideoRecord |
| |
The VideoRecord
component records a buffered stream to the server. The
camera and microphone output is recorded. |
| |
| If you are
using Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX 1.5,
these components are automatically installed into your
Macromedia Flash MX environment when you installed
your Developer Edition, Personal Edition, or Professional
Edition of the software. |
If you are running Macromedia Flash Communication Server
MX 1.0, you must download and install these components
separately. License
and Download these components for
Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX 1.0. |
