Server Management ActionScript Language Reference
When the administration server host to which you want to connect is a virtual host (one of
several services on the same machine), make sure to specify the virtual host’s domain name, or
IP Address, as part of the URI—for example,
rtmp://www.myVhost.com/admin:1111
. That
way, when you connect to the host machine, you connect to an instance of the server running
on your specified virtual host.
Only valid administrators, as defined in the Users.xml configuration file, can connect to the
server. You must specify two administrative parameters, the user name and the password for a
valid administrator, to the
NetConnection.connect
method.
The following example shows the call that lets the administrator
MHill
with password
635xjh27
connect to the server on
localhost
:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost:1111/admin", "MHill", "635xjh27");
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the administration server, you should use a
firewall and limit access to the administration server port (port 1111). For more information

Syntax example
To make a Server Management ActionScript API call, you’ll want to include a callback
handler and any required parameters in your code.
In the following example, the
getAppStats
method is called to retrieve the performance data
of a running application; the callback handler
new receiveAppStats
captures the result of
the call; and the value
ChatApp
is a required parameter that specifies the name of the
application:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost:1111/admin", "MHill", "635xjh27");
// Call getAppStats
nc.call("getAppStats", new receiveAppStats(), "ChatApp");
