Flex Video Chat with .NET backend (powered by WebORB Enterprise)

There is a new Flex example available on the website. The example is a Flex-based video chat powered by WebORB Enterprise. The example demonstrates a variety of features and concepts including, but not limited to:
  • invocation of a .NET object using NetConnection call
  • dynamic creation of the application instances (rooms)
  • invocation of client-side ActionScript functions from .NET code
  • client stream publishing (camera and microphone)
  • client stream subscription (so one can see other users in a room)
  • using shared object to broadcast text messages between all clients in a room

You can access the example at:
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/dotnet/examples.shtm?page=11

You can create your own room or join the chat in an existing room. Client and server-side source code is available (see the links on the example's page).

Enjoy and please let us know if you run into any problems.

Disclaimer: the example is running on the Beta 1 release of the product, so accidents may happen. We're monitoring server/process health and there may be occasional restarts if we have to fix an issue.
