Mitsue-Links is now working on the development of content that makes use of the Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX (FCS). Using the Flash Communication Server (FCS) enables the provision of content using Flash as an interface, and allows for the distribution of interactive content via communications with the server and streamed audio and video content. Content can be played using the widely used Flash Player plug-in, so many users will be able to enjoy this content without even realizing they are using plug-in technology, etc.
Advantages to using Flash Communication Server (FCS)
- Video- and audio-based communication is possible using a camera or microphone (video chat, etc.)
- Interactive content, such as messaging services and server-side games, can be easily developed.
- Distributed video content plays on Flash Player, so no other plug-ins need to be installed.
- Depending on the application, content comparable to that developed to date using Java can be developed in a shorter time frame.
More appealing product marketing
[Promotions]
We can now produce promotional content for products that employs a combination of video, Flash animation and audio media. Up until now, even if Flash was used, most promotional content was based around photo graphics, but now incorporating video content enables you to showcase products in a more appealing manner and provides a new way of approaching users.
Delivering content with strong user appeal
[Games]
Flag Dash is a real-time, multiple-player game that involves six players being split up into two teams with each team trying to hit members of the other team with snowballs in an attempt to get hold of each other's flags. Flash Communication Server (FCS) has made it possible to produce content that can be easily enjoyed by multiple users simultaneously. Naturally this makes the game more fun, and on top of this, provides the added fun of using new communications functions such as the chat function, which allows users to chat to their friends or even other players they don't know. In this way, FCS makes it possible to deliver content that has strong user appeal.

More effective presentations
[Streaming]
Person in Presentation (PIP) is the name of a presentation tool that makes use of the Flash Communication Server's (FCS) video streaming function. Whereas previously content may have mostly been presented using text and graphics-based animation, PIP combines streamed presentations by real people with Flash-based animation, thus enabling content to be presented in a highly realistic way where it appears that the person is actually presenting. This method of presenting content is starting to be used not just for presentations, but in the e-learning sector as well, due to its suitability to these forums and because it makes content easier to understand.
