NetStream class
Availability
■ Flash Player 6.
■ Flash Communication Server MX 1.0.
The NetStream class opens a one-way streaming connection between Flash Player and Flash
Media Server through a connection made available by a NetConnection object. A NetStream
object is like a channel inside a NetConnection object; this channel can either publish audio
and/or video data, using
NetStream.publish(), or subscribe to a published stream and
receive data, using
NetStream.play(). You can publish or play live (real-time) data and
previously recorded data.
You can also use NetStream objects to send text messages to all subscribed clients (see
NetStream.send()).
The following steps summarize the sequence of actions required for publishing real-time
audio and video using Flash Media Server and the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP):
1. Use new NetConnection to create a NetConnection object.
2. Use NetConnection.connect("rtmp://serverName/appName/appInstanceName") to
connect the application instance to the Flash Media Server.
3. Use new NetStream(connection:String) to create a data stream over the connection.
4. Use NetStream.attachAudio(audioSource:Microphone) to capture and send audio
over the stream, and
NetStream.attachVideo(videoSource:Camera) to capture and
send video over the stream.
NOTE
In Flash Player 7 and later, you can use this method to play FLV files without Flash
Media Server. For more information, see the NetStream class entry in ActionScript
2.0 Language Reference.
