For example, a designer debugging an application wants to view the content of a particular
stream. The administrator logs in to the Flash Media Administrative service through the
management console, selects the application and then clicks its Streams tab. They select the

Play Streams option.

Another user debugging a different application wants to review the contents of a shared object
implemented in their application and examine the properties in this shared object. The user
logs into the management console and selects the application. The user moves to the Shared

properties in the adjoining window.

The management console is a Flash application (fmsconsole.swf ) that Macromedia created
with public APIs (application programming interfaces). When you install Flash Media Server
2 on Windows or Linux systems, the installer places fmsconsole.html in the Flash Media

can monitor and control the server’s activity by launching the management console and
connecting to the server.
