It's great to see this work being done with Flex2 and FMS. Just wanted to note the free FMS Developer Edition is now usable in commercial applications. Also - the FMS Professional Edition has the concept of license profiles that let you configure your server for use as a streaming A/V server or an application server. For example, you can choose to have 150 Connections and unlimited bandwidh or up to 2500 connections with a 25Mbps cap. It's all the same price and you can change profiles at any time.

Jesse - Not sure if this is in line with what you meant by a 'shared object server'. -steve. FMS team adobe systems Jesse -

It really is all too easy. I love your suggestion of intergrating it in with Carnigorn 2.0. Ive got a little tutorial up on my blog on a video guestbook if you are interested. <a href="http://www.interfaced.com.au/?p=6" rel="nofollow">http://www.interfaced.com.au/?p=6</a> Hi Jesse,

The problem is, if it goes commercial, you'll need deep pockets. Furthermore the server-side is written in Java. You cant use something lighter weight like JavaScript. I've read their API, but it's not made for multi-user apps with messaging; it's made for apps that want to distribute data; basically a wonderful integration into your data source with fallbacks to polling. Well put together, but again, wrong solution. To be fair, yes, Adobe has a great developer license for FDS. The problem is, if it goes commercial, you’ll need deep pockets.

Cheers. Just to clarify, Flex Data Services Express (FDS) is free, which for what I understand, the only restriction is single cpu servers, which should be enough for a side/fun project.
