Today i saw that Jesse Warden was reporting via twitter that he found some really strange behavior on the client property of the a NetStream. After a couple of tweets i mentioned that i had a custom NetStream class which converts those data callbacks into real events (read: addEventListener). He found the idea interesting so here it is.

Why is xmpp or jabber not that spread into the flash community? Why we don't see jabber as an option for real time collaboration apps together with flash? Here are my thoughts on the subject.

The other day a client contacted us in order to fill out an enhacement request.

We developed for him several multiuser applications that he rents per day. Everything runs under FMS and he manages it via a web-based admin tool we built too.

He had the need to broadcast a maintenance message to all connected vhost admins via a web-form. We can't use flash for this because the admin tool is cell-phone compatible for remote administration. Flash lite is not an option at this time.

I'm excited to finally be able to share this. We have been working on a project to make Flash Video known by everybody in this country.

I had an EventDispatcher class for fms a while ago. I updated it to be more similar to the EventDispatcher class in ActionScript3.

So, here it is for you to use it. If you find smth wrong plz let me know about it and i will be sure to post a fix asap.

BTW, this code is based on Adobe's class and requires my __package and __import util methods.

There is an interesting conversation taking place at the flashmedia list about building a view-less component set for fms. It's titled "FMS component idea".

If you follow the fms community you know lots of developers ask for a server-side scripting improvement. They even ask for server-side AS3.

But they are right, we need a better way to code but we don't feel like sitting here waiting for Adobe to release a new version, we try to mimic what we need with what we currently have.
