FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

Specifies a video stream (source) to be displayed within the boundaries of the Video object on
the Stage. The video stream is either an FLV file being displayed by means of the
NetStream.play() command, or null. If source is null, video is no longer played within the
Video object.
You don't have to use this method if the FLV file contains only audio; the audio portion of
FLV files is played automatically when the NetStream.play() command is issued.
If you want to control the audio associated with an FLV file, you can use
MovieClip.attachAudio() to route the audio to a movie clip; you can then create a Sound
object to control some aspects of the audio. For more information, see
MovieClip.attachAudio().
Availability
ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6 - The ability to work with Flash Video (FLV) files was added
in Flash Player 7.
Example
The following example plays a previously recorded file named video1.flv that is stored in the
same directory as the SWF file.
var my_video:Video; // my_video is a Video object on the Stage
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("video1.flv");
