The following resources will help you develop Flash Communication Server applications.
To begin To get started in the development process, begin with Developing Communication
Applications. This manual describes how to connect to the Flash Communication Server. It also
supplies samples that you can use as templates for creating, testing, and debugging applications.
To use these samples, open the directory where Flash MX is installed, and go to
\flashcom_help\help_collateral\.
Scripting For scripting reference, consult the following manuals:
• The Client-Side Communication ActionScript Dictionary explains the ActionScript commands
you use in the Flash MX authoring environment.
• The Server-Side Communication ActionScript Dictionary explains the ActionScript commands
you use in scripts that reside on the server.
• Using Flash MX describes how to write basic ActionScript, presents samples, and provides
references to additional instructional media that can assist you in becoming a Flash
developer. Using Flash MX is available in printed form and as a help system (select Help >
Using Flash MX).
Testing and debugging When you’re ready to test and debug your application, use the
Communication App inspector and the NetConnection Debugger.
• The Communication App inspector lets you view detailed server information when the
application is running. To open this inspector, in Flash MX select Window >
Communication App Inspector. When the inspector is open, you can view online help by
clicking the Help button.
• The NetConnection Debugger lets you debug applications when they are running. To open
this debugger, in Flash MX select Window > NetConnection Debugger. When the debugger is
open, you can view online help by clicking the Help button.
