Attached is the first alpha release of red5node, a little present for the holidays for any drupal webcam developer :)

Unlike the pre-alpha released earlier, this one should be as secure as the components it stands upon- Drupal, Flex, Services & AMFPHP. If you see how it isn't please let me know as I'd like to address it.

The major differences from the prior release are behind the scenes but very substantial- namely fixing gaping security holes. Please try this module out now.

OK. So for anyone else having this issue, when Adobe decides to piss on us Linux Flash developers again:
This time it was making my Flex Builder Alpha expire. First it took hours ( and two unhelpful Adobe reps ) to realize that there was a new alpha available for Flex. I thought they were trying to make me buy a license. So I figured, oh, cool, it'll be a cinch to upgrade. But I was incorrect.

Upgrading Flex builder linux to alpha 5, on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10:

UPDATE - NEWER RELEASE AVAILABLE - GO HERE

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like it when Drupal modules are released with closed-source SWF files - especially when the SWF file comprises the core of the module.

Boo-ya! Finally got this working! My "Hello world" red5 app is attached...It's nothing fancy (adds two numbers together and spits it out in the eclipse debug console), but I couldn't find a good template to work off of that used red5 v.8 and Flex w/ AS3, so here it is.

You'll need Adobe Flex Builder set up in Eclipse to run this.

Installation:
1) Unzip myapp.tar_.gz and place myapp/ in ~/projects/red5/dist/webapps
2) Unzip red5test.tar_.gz and place into your eclipse workspace.

So I'm working on the Absurdist Manifesto, which is to be the world's coolest phone tree to nowhere.

First, I started a new flex project in Eclipse configured with Adobe Flex Builder.

Then, I quickly pieced the front-end view of a keypad together in flex.
