Description

Constructor; creates an object that can be used to connect Flash Player to the Flash Media

Server or to an application server. After creating the NetConnection object, use

NetConnection.connect() to make the actual connection.

For information on using Flash with an application server, see http://www.macromedia.com/

go/flashmediaserver_desdev_en.

Example

The following doConnect() function uses the NetConnection constructor to create a new

connection and connect to the server:

function doConnect() {

// Make a new connection object.

var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

/* Get the name of the server from user input

and assign it to a variable named myURL. */

var myURL_str:String = serverName;

// Connect to the service.

my_nc.connect("rtmp://" + myURL_str + "/someApp/someInstance");

}
