They are missing to many things that the Red5 plugin needs. Lot of Java developer stuff that comes the Eclipse that the other stand alone IDE's tend to leave out of their installations of Eclipse @ludakris4 – yeah I have never gotten the Red5 plugin working with a stand alone FDT or Flex Builder.

Im building a red 5 app, it would save me time if i can get this plug in installed. I have the FDT standalone, i bought a while ago. I have no idea where im going wrong with it.It doesnt copy the files to the server, or the server just doesnt start. @Matthew::::Thanks, yeah, i’m struggling with it now.

Only thing I can tell you is I have found better success getting it up and running using straight up Eclipse and then install all the plugins that I need such as FDT, Flex, and Red5. @ludakris4 – wish I could be more helpful.

I have used red 5 before years ago. I installed the red 5 plug in no problems back in the day. Im trying to intall the red 5 plug in with FDT 3 on a mac book pro. The plug in seems to be installed , but i can't get it to work. Im getting a null pointer exception : Could not publish to the server. java.lang.NullPointerException I havent been able to figure it out yet? I do know a little java and no real stranger to setting this all up. I am on a mac book pro. Do you have any suggestions? Hey,

Rather I would suggest you think about using a crossdomain.xml policy. See the following link for more info. <a href="http://www.nabble.com/red5-security-crossdomain.xml-td22672006.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nabble.com/red5-security-crossdomain.xml-td22672006.html</a> Something else that I would suggest is remove any applications from the Red5 server that you are not using such as some of the demos and also when a user connects to your server I would also suggest that the Application requier some variables to be passed along with the connection such as user name and a session id or something that you can have Red5 check and authenticate against a database. If the variables don't get passed then you can disconnect the user from the app. securing Red5 in this way does not really require any configuration to Red5.

I really enjoy sharing what I figure out when using Red5. I know a lot of you have been asking that I hurry up and do another Red5 tutorial. I promise that it is coming. I think I will get something added by the end of June. Hang in there and please if you have something you would like to see done, drop me a line I will consider all requests.

All I had to do was add the object encoding: connection.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0; ...and the server-side script was returned. I simply cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do this. Just a quick follow up because I got it working…
