In November of 2007 Sandy3.o and RedSandy were released ! 9 months later we have seen little progress, why? It stands to reason that this should be a project that everyone ( red5 developers…at least! ) would be contributing to and/or developing with…seriously, 3d and multi-user flash applications, wow!
Lets see some cool demos built using RedSandy instead of the standard red5 chat tool and video streaming tutorials, and the run of the mill 3d flash “how to import collada’s”, “using basic prims”, etc…
We would like to know what you think??? If you have any creative red5 or RedSandy demos, tutorials, and resources, please send them our way!
A bit on Sandy
Sandy is the original 3d flash engine that was around before Papervision3D and Away3D and all the others. Sandy3d is an excellent library and it has many features that others do not have well particularly in the easier control of objects and importing all types of files such as ASE, WRL and 3ds in addition to COLLADA which other 3d engines like PV3d and Away3d support although it has been slower in the past 3.0 may change that.

How to build a shared fridge magnets application in red5 by Cary Dunn
Red5 New Application Structure Rundown
Creating a new Red5 application is simple. We just create a new folder in webapps/.
We will create an app called elcMagnets so we create a directory for it and now have webapps/elcMagnets. Red5 expects us to also have a directory inside our new application named WEB-INF/ so we create that as well, and now have webapps/elcMagnets/WEB-INF.
There are 4 default configuration files in doc/templates/myapp/WEB-INF that we will modify and use in our app, so we can copy those over to our elcMagnets directory. (log4j.properties, red5-web.properties, red5-web.xml, web.xml)
You can read up about all the properties and handlers specified in these files here.
For now, we only want to customize these files for our current app. We need to change the webapp.contextPath specified in red5-web.properties to reflect our newly created app. Take note of the virtualHosts parameter and remember to deal with it on deployment to a remote host.
You can download all the files here.
