flash.media package
The flash.media package contains classes for working with audio and video streams that are
either prerecorded or that stream from the client computer that is running Flash Player. The
Sound class and its supporting classes let you work with external MP3 files and streaming
sound embedded in a SWF file. The Microphone class lets you capture audio from a
microphone attached to the computer. The Camera and Video classes let you capture video
from a video camera attached to the computer. The Video class also lets you work with
prerecorded external FLV files. For more information, see the
flash.media
package in the
ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference.
flash.net package
The flash.net package contains a variety of classes that handle the sending and receiving of
data. Flash Player 9 can handle many kinds of data—raw binary data, XML, text, URL-
encoded variables, and whole files that can be uploaded or downloaded. Data can be
transmitted from a network server to the client computer that is running Flash Player, and
vice-versa, or between two SWF files.
Central to the package are the URLLoader class and the URLRequest class. You use the
URLLoader class to send variables in an object to a specified URL and to load variables at a
specified URL into an object. The URLRequest class captures all the data in an HTTP
request.
This package also contains package-level functions, such as
and
navigateToURL()
, that you can use for simple operations that don't require much server
sendToURL()
interaction.

package in the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference.
