VideoWhisper.com Video Chat Software

New AS3 Flash Video Chat software is beeing developed by VideoWhisper.com . Currently a video conference solution is available for testing.

This requires at least Flash 9 but AS3 is advertised to be more stable and a lot faster compared to older AS2. Users with Flash8 and older can't use AS3.

Demo Movies, Whisper Mode, Spy Webcams

Demo movies added to the video chat demos page:


New Features
# Spy Webcams for all active sessions (requires Live Video for Visitors Plugin)
# Whisper (send message only to selected user)
# Whisper Mode support (only whispers allowed, great for private discussions on dating websites)

RTMP Connection test for VideoFlashChat

We created a VideoFlashChat RTMP connection checker using AS3 to check if everything is ok with the streaming server:
http://www.videoflashchat.com/videoflashchat/connectiontest.html

Test with rtmp://obrix1ty9.rtmphost.com/videoflashchat . Connections from other domains are rejected by our fms host so this path will only work with this one but you can test your own installations if the sever allows connections from videoflashchat.com .

Submit a ticket if you are a customer and need this zipped to test your installation.

Code:

import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.events.*;

// Current release of FMS only understands AMF0 so tell Flex to
// use AMF0 for all NetConnection objects.
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

if (link.text.length==0) link.text="rtmp://videoflashchat";
bt_connect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, try_connect);

function try_connect(e:MouseEvent)
{
var button:Button = e.target as Button;
log.appendText("\nConnecting to: "+link.text);
fmsconnect(link.text);
}

function fmsconnect(server)
{
var UserName="test_conn";
var sex="male";
var room="test";

//connection
var fmscon:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
fmscon.connect(server,UserName,sex,room);
fmscon.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);

function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
var info:Object = event.info;
log.appendText("\n"+info.code);
}
}
