Hallo,
sorry, this is completely off-topic, but perhaps someone has the experience I lack.


We need to hand a variable over to a Flash Media server to have that variable written into the flash stream.

I'm told by the people, who will do the programming for the flash media server, that this can only be done
with a ColdFusion Application, because only ColdFusion would be able to communicate
with the Flash media server.

That seems unlikely to me. Is there some proprietary communication channel, or this is just http/tcp? I'd guess what they are really telling you is, "We only know how to do it with ColdFusion".


From Wikipedia:

Flash Media Server is a hub, Flash based applications connect to the hub using Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). The server can send and receive data to and from the connected users. Connected clients can make Remote procedure calls (RPC) on the server-side and the server can call methods on specific clients. A SharedObject can be used to synchronize complicated data structures and call remote methods on multiple clients in one go by having clients subscribe to a shared object. Standard ActionScript objects are transported across the NetConnection using the Action Message Format (AMF) which is handled transparently by the server and flash client.
The server also allows users to receive and publish net streams. When viewing a net stream the user can either create their own to view a remotely stored Flash Video (FLV) or the server can instantiate a net stream and play a video on it, the latter method means that every user will be at the same point in the video when they subscribe to it as they are all viewing the same stream.



Has someone ever tried (and succeeded) to communicate with the Flash Media Server via WebObjects

Background: the customer has a Mac Environment with several Xserve licenses - they definitely have a WebObjects license, but need to buy a ColdFusion License
and buying a ColdFusion License solely for this task seems not sensible to me.


Or has someone archived the communication with Flash Media Server by another means.


You probably have some work to do, but getting ColdFusion for this seems like overkill.
