Chattyfig's FlashCom Mailing List
Talk to the pros - this is the one and only FlashCom mailing list. I hang out there too.

Flashstreamworks
A great Flash Video Resource which features tutorials, articles, a Flash Video related blog as well as a forum.

Total Training
On-screen training courses in DVD format. I recommend this especially if you are new to FMS and want to get to grips with some Flash basics first. They also feature many other titles.

Ryerson FlashCom Development Server
Flashcom applications and advanced scripts from Brian Lesser, Ryerson University. Great resource but a lot to chew if you are a beginner.

Ultrasaurus FlashCom Development FAQ
A good overview if you are new to Flashcom development or struggeling to get your server up and running.

Adobe's Flash Media Server Development Center
Tutorials, articles and news from the mothership.

Flash Communication Components Download Page
Good idea to download these and have a good look through the code. They also make development of demo apps a piece of cake - but that's not always a good thing.

Scripting Collaborative Applications with Flash Communication Server MX
A good article from the O'Reilly Network by Jon Udell.

Mesh on MX
Mike Chambers is the Macromedia Community Manager and this is his blog.

Jesse rocks, I love his Captivate tutorials in partcular. His site also has lots of quality Flash and Flashcom related info.

Flashguru
No, I didn't steal the name off him :-) This site is run by Guy Watson who has been a Flasher for as long as I can remember. Top quality source of info.

Programming Flash Communication Server
Site accompanying THE book on Flashcom Server, period. If you haven't bough the book yet... well, do it NOW!

STI Media
Mr Ultimate's blog, a good friend and great FCS developer. He likes to have a go at FCS bugs - a bit like me then - and is the creator of one of the most successful Japanese developer resources. He also helps moderate our forums.

Flashcommunicationserver.net
Maintained by Chris Hock, this site offers a wide range of working examples of Flashcom applications. If you have built an application that is live on the net then why not submit it to Chris?

Videospark.com
Excellent resource centered around Flash Video.
The site has free downloads as well as some projects that became commercial. All fla files sold there are built by the very same people who use the site. Run by Cort Stull , the site focuses on Video and Flash as they continue to evolve.

Simply the best tool for injecting meaningful metadata into your flv files. Now also available as GUI version.
