The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a v2 component (version 2 of the Macromedia
Component Architecture), use the DepthManager class from the component framework
instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.

NetConnection class
Availability
■ Flash Player 6.
The NetConnection class manages a bidirectional connection between Flash Player and a
server, which lets you connect to Flash Remoting or to Flash Media Server. Flash Media
Server enables you to share audio, video, and data using the Macromedia Real-Time
Messaging Protocol (RTMP).
For information on using Flash with an application server, see http://www.macromedia.com/
go/flashmediaserver_desdev_en. For information on using Flash with Flash Media Server, see
the following entries in addition to NetConnection:
■ NetStream class—for any RTMP communication
■ Camera class—for capturing and transmitting video
■ Microphone class—for capturing and transmitting audio
■ SharedObject class—for sharing data
■ Video class—for displaying video
For information on creating a NetConnection object, see “Constructor for the
NetConnection class” on page 65.
NOTE
In Flash Player 7 and later, you can use this class to open a connection and play FLV
files without Flash Media Server. For more information, see the Netconnection class
entry in ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
