Playing back external FLV files dynamically
You can load FLV files at runtime to play in a SWF file. You can load them into a video
object or into a component such as the FLVPlayback component. The following example
shows how to play back a file named clouds.flv in a video object.
To play back an external FLV file in a Flash document:
1.
Create a new Flash document called playFLV.fla.
2.
In the Library panel (Window > Library), select New Video from the Library
pop-up menu.
3.
In the Video Properties dialog box, name the video symbol and select Video (ActionScript
controlled).
4.
Click OK to create a video object.
5.
Drag the video object from the Library panel to the Stage to create a video object instance.
6.
With the video object selected on the Stage, type my_video in the Instance Name text box
in the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties).
7.
Select Frame 1 in the Timeline, and open the Actions panel (Window > Actions).
8.
Type the following code in the Actions panel:
this.createTextField("status_txt", 999, 0, 0, 100, 100);
status_txt.autoSize = "left";
status_txt.multiline = true;
// Create a NetConnection object
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
my_nc.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
status_txt.text += "status (" + this.time + " seconds)\n";
status_txt.text += "\t Level: " + infoObject.level + "\n";
status_txt.text += "\t Code: " + infoObject.code + "\n\n";
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
// Set the buffer time
my_ns.setBufferTime(5);
// Begin playing the FLV file
my_ns.play("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/clouds.flv");
9.
Select Control > Test Movie to test the document.
