Type the following code in the Actions panel:
// Create a NetConnection object.
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection.
netConn.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function.
var nStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object.
my_video.attachVideo(nStream);
// Set the buffer time.
nStream.setBufferTime(30);
// Being playing the FLV file.
nStream.play("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/
lights_short.flv");

following code shows the duration of an FLV file:
nStream.onMetaData = function(myMeta) {
trace("FLV duration: " + myMeta.duration + " sec.");
};
This format cannot trace
