NetConnection object for the VideoPlayer class, a
helper class for that user facing class.
The NCManager class searches a URL and assumes the following:
- If the URL string host starts with a valid FMS streaming protocol (such as rtmp://, rtmps://, or rtmpt://) it infers that the URL is streaming from an FMS.
- If it does not stream from an FMS and if the URL contains a question mark (?), it infers that the URL points to an SMIL file.
- If it does not stream from an FMS and if it does not contain a question mark (?), the NCManager class checks to see whether it ends in .flv. If it ends in .flv, it infers it is for a progressive download FLV. Otherwise, it is an SMIL file to download and parse.

Height of the stream, in pixels. After the
VideoPlayer.ncConnected() method is called, if the streamHeight
property is less than 0, that indicates to the VideoPlayer object that there is no stream
height information. If the
VideoPlayer object has the scaleMode property set
to VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO or VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE,

happen instantly, rather than waiting.

Length of the stream, in seconds. After the VideoPlayer.ncConnected() method
is called, if it returns undefined, null or less than 0,
then the VideoPlayer object knows that there is no stream length information.
If stream length information is returned, it overrides any existing steam length information
including information set by the totalTime parameter of the
VideoPlayer.play() method or the
VideoPlayer.load() method or information received from the FLV file's metadata.

connectAgain | () | method |
public function connectAgain():Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Called by the VideoPlayer object if the connection is successfully made but the stream is not found. If multiple alternate interpretations of the RTMP URL are possible, it tries to connect to the server with a different URL and hand back a different stream name.
This can be necessary in cases where the URL is something like rtmp://servername/path1/path2/path3. When passing in an application name and an instance name, open the NetConnection object with rtmp://servername/path1/path2, or use the default instance so the stream is opened with path2/path3. In general, this is possible whenever there are more than two parts to the path but not possible if there are only two (there should never be only one).
ReturnsBoolean — If an attempt is made to make another connection, then true.
If an attempt has already been made or no additional attempts
are merited, then false.

connectToURL | () | method |
public function connectToURL(url:String):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Called by the VideoPlayer object to ask for a connection to the
URL. Once a connection is successful or failed, then call the
VideoPlayer.ncConnected() method. If the connection has failed, then
set nc = null before calling.
Parameters
url:String — The URL to which the VideoPlayer object requests connection.
|
Boolean — If a connection is made synchronously, true. If an attempt is
made asynchronously so caller should expect a "connected"
event coming, false.

public function reconnect():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |

public function setProperty(propertyName:String, value:*):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Allows setting of the fallbackServerName, fpadZone, objectEncoding,
and proxyType properties.
The fallbackServerName property specifies a Flash Media Server (FMS) URL
to be used if the primary server address derived from the URL passed
into connectToURL() cannot be reached. This property can also be set
directly through the fallbackServerName property.
The fpadZone property specifies the fpadZone property for Flash Media Server (FMS).
If the returned value is not a number (NaN),
then no zone is set.
The fpadZone property must be set before
the connection process begins to have effect.
If you do not want to set a zone, set the fpadZone property to NaN.
NaN.
The objectEncoding property specifies the value to be used for the objectEncoding
property on NetConnection instances. Default is flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0.
The proxyType property specifies the value to be used for the proxyType
property on NetConnection instances. Default is "best".
Parameters
propertyName:String — The name of the property that the setProperty
method is calling.

To run the example, follow these steps:
- Add the FLVPlayback component in the library.
