Intended audience

This manual shows you, the Flash developer, the steps involved in setting up a development environment and creating Flash Communication Server applications, including debugging and testing applications.

You should already be familiar with Flash MX authoring, ActionScript, and the Flash Player. It is very helpful to have familiarity with JavaScript (because it forms the basis of server-side ActionScript), client-server models, and networking concepts.

The Flash Communication Server documentation set assumes that you already have Flash MX installed and know how to use it.
