When I started working with New Toronto Group I did a lot of exploration into Macromedia Breeze. Since then, it has been rebranded and updated as Adobe Connect, and now a new version of Connect Professional is coming out, code-named "Brio" (I recall it under a different name, but perhaps a fuzzy italian soda pop is more of an exciting code word). Anyway, it looks like the interface is a lot simpler than it used to be, and it appears to be very Flex / Flash 9 supported (reports of AS 3 - type errors have been showing up). Alas, Brio still has firewall negotiation issues that I would like to see resolved (see above image). Check out in any case - I'll have my meeting room launched after 8:00 pm EST for those interested in seeing me play around with the Adobe Connect API.

Just a quick correction. It is tough to follow but Breeze became Acrobat Connect Pro. A new service was launched a year ago called Acrobat Connect (standard). Brio is an update to Connect standard.
We have heard reports of that "stuck at connecting" bug, it involves player 9.0.16. Would you mind trying to upgrade your flash player and see if that helps? If not, please email brio_beta@adobe.com and we'll see what's up.

To Guillaume - Thanks for the quick correction. With all the platforms/products I use sometimes I forget a differentiated service or two (smile)
Peldi - I'll give it a try on a different machine. Will Brio work with debug versions of the Flash Player as well (as I need to run with debug)
