Obama’s Online Town Hall in Flash

March 26th, 2009 by ryanstewart

President Obama is holding an interactive online town hall where he’s taking questions from anyone and then streaming the event live. To do that, Flash Media Server 3.5, which includes dynamic streaming so you get the best picture quality your connection can handle.

In other Flash Platform and FMS news, MLB is rolling out their next generation live player in HD and built with Flash. As Serge said, Flash on!

    You guys really should look into an option to hide Flash Player error messages, even to those with the debugger install. I’m so tired of hitting sites and seeing all of the developer’s bugs, and having people see mine…

    Yeah, I noticed that too. Bad user experience.
