defaultObjectEncoding | property |
defaultObjectEncoding:uint
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The default object encoding for NetConnection objects.
When an object is written to or read from binary data, the defaultObjectEncoding
property indicates which Action Message Format (AMF) version is used to serialize the data:
the ActionScript 3.0 format (ObjectEncoding.AMF3
)
or the ActionScript 1.0 and ActionScript 2.0 format (ObjectEncoding.AMF0
).
The default value is ObjectEncoding.AMF3
.
Changing NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding
does not affect existing NetConnection instances; it affects only instances that
are created subsequently.
To set an object's encoding separately (rather than setting object encoding for the entire
application), set the objectEncoding
property of the NetConnection object instead.
For more detailed information, see the description of the objectEncoding
property.

nearNonce | property |
nearNonce:String
[read-only] Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
A value chosen substantially by this Flash Player or Adobe AIR instance, unique to this connection. This value appears to the server
as its client.farNonce
value. This value is defined only for RTMFP, RTMPE, and RTMPTE connections.
Implementation
public function get nearNonce():String
objectEncoding | property |
objectEncoding:uint
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The object encoding for this NetConnection instance.
When an object is written to or read from binary data, the defaultObjectEncoding
property indicates which Action Message Format (AMF) version is used to serialize the data: the ActionScript 3.0 format (ObjectEncoding.AMF3
)
or the ActionScript 1.0 and ActionScript 2.0 format (ObjectEncoding.AMF0
).
Set the objectEncoding
property to set an AMF version for a NetConnection instance.
It's important to understand this property if your application needs to communicate with servers released prior to Flash Player 9. The following three scenarios are possible:
- Connecting to a server that supports AMF3 (for example, Flex Data Services 2 or Flash Media Server 3).
The default value of
defaultObjectEncoding
isObjectEncoding.AMF3
. All NetConnection instances created in this file use AMF3 serialization, so you don't need to set theobjectEncoding
property. - Connecting to a server that doesn't support AMF3 (for example, Flash Media Server 2).
In this scenario, set the static
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding
property toObjectEncoding.AMF0
. All NetConnection instances created in this SWF file use AMF0 serialization. You don't need to set theobjectEncoding
property. - Connecting to multiple servers that use different encoding versions. Instead of
using
defaultObjectEncoding
, set the object encoding on a per-connection basis using theobjectEncoding
property for each connection. Set it toObjectEncoding.AMF0
to connect to servers that use AMF0 encoding, such as Flash Media Server 2, and set it toObjectEncoding.AMF3
to connect to servers that use AMF3 encoding, such as Flex Data Services 2.
Once a NetConnection instance is connected, its objectEncoding
property is read-only.
If you use the wrong encoding to connect to a server, the NetConnection object
dispatches the netStatus
event. The NetStatusEvent.info
property contains an information object with a code
property value of
NetConnection.Connect.Failed
, and a description explaining that the object
encoding is incorrect.
Implementation
public function get objectEncoding():uint
public function set objectEncoding(value:uint):void
Throws
ReferenceError — An attempt was made to set the value of the objectEncoding
property while the NetConnection instance was connected.
| |
ArgumentError — This property was set to a value other than ObjectEncoding.AMF0
or ObjectEncoding.AMF3 .

protocol | property |
protocol:String
[read-only] Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The protocol used to establish the connection. This property is relevant when using Flash Media Server. Possible values are as follows:
"rtmp"
: Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)"rtmpe"
: Encrypted RTMP"rtmpt"
: HTTP tunneling RTMP"rtmpte"
: HTTP tunneling encrypted RTMP"rtmps"
: HTTPS-based RTMP"rtmfp"

proxyType | property |
proxyType:String
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Determines which fallback methods are tried if an
initial connection attempt to Flash Media Server fails. Set the proxyType
property before
calling the NetConnection.connect()
method.
Acceptable values are "none"
, "HTTP"
, "CONNECTOnly"
, "CONNECT"
,
and "best"
.The default value is "none"
.
To use native SSL, set the property to "best"
. If the player cannot make a direct connection
to the server (over the default port of 443 or over another port that you specify)
and a proxy server is in place, the player tries to use the CONNECT method. If that attempt fails, the player tunnels over HTTPS.
If the property is set to "CONNECTOnly"
, the player tries to use the CONNECT
method first.
If that fails, there is no fallback.
If the property is set to "HTTP"
and a direct connection fails, HTTP tunneling is used.
If the property is set to "CONNECT"
and a direct connection fails,
the CONNECT
method of tunneling is used. If that fails, the connection does
not fall back to HTTP tunneling.
This property is applicable only when using RTMP, RTMPS, or RTMPT. The CONNECT
and
CONNECTOnly
methods are
applicable only to users who are connected to the network by a proxy server.

addHeader | () | method |
public function addHeader(operation:String, mustUnderstand:Boolean = false, param:Object = null):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Adds a context header to the Action Message Format (AMF) packet structure. This header is sent with
every future AMF packet. If you call NetConnection.addHeader()
using the same name, the new header replaces the existing header, and the new header
persists for the duration of the NetConnection object. You can remove a header by
calling NetConnection.addHeader()
with the name of the header to remove
an undefined object.
Parameters
operation:String — Identifies the header and the ActionScript object data associated with it.
| |
mustUnderstand:Boolean (default = false ) — A value of true indicates that the server must understand
and process this header before it handles any of the following headers or messages.
| |
param:Object (default = null ) — Any ActionScript object.
|
call | () | method |
public function call(command:String, responder:Responder, ... arguments):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Calls a command or method on Flash Media Server or on an application server running Flash Remoting.
Before calling NetConnection.call()
you must call NetConnection.connect()
to connect to the server. You must create a server-side function to pass to this method.
You cannot connect to commonly reserved ports. For a complete list of blocked ports, see "Restricting Networking APIs" in the ActionScript 3.0 Developer's Guide.
Parameters
command:String — A method specified in the form [objectPath/]method . For example,
the someObject/doSomething command tells the remote server
to call the clientObject.someObject.doSomething() method, with all the optional
... arguments parameters. If the object path is missing,
clientObject.doSomething() is invoked on the remote server.
With Flash Media Server, | |
responder:Responder — An optional object that is used to handle return values from the server.
The Responder object can have two defined methods to handle the returned result:
result and status . If an error is returned as the result,
status is invoked; otherwise, result is invoked. The Responder object
can process errors related to specific operations, while the NetConnection object responds to
errors related to the connection status.
| |
... arguments — Optional arguments that can be of any ActionScript type,
including a reference to another ActionScript object. These arguments are passed
to the method specified in the command parameter when the method is executed on the
remote application server.
|
Events
securityError: — A call attempted
to communicate with a server outside the caller's security sandbox.
You can avoid this problem by using a policy file on the server.

close | () | method |
public function close():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Closes the connection that was opened locally or to the server and dispatches
a netStatus
event
with a code
property of NetConnection.Connect.Closed
.
This method disconnects all NetStream objects running over the connection.
Any queued data that has not been sent is discarded. (To terminate
local or server streams without closing the connection, use NetStream.close()
.)
If you close the connection and then want to create a new one,
you must create a new NetConnection object and call the connect()
method again.
The close()
method also disconnects all remote shared objects running
over this connection.
However, you don't need to recreate the shared object to reconnect. Instead, you can just
call SharedObject.connect()
to reestablish the connection to the shared object.
Also, any data in the shared object that was queued when you issued
NetConnection.close()
is sent after you reestablish a connection
to the shared object.
With Flash Media Server, the best development practice is to call close()
when the client no longer needs the connection to the server. Calling close()
is the fastest way to clean up unused connections. You can configure the server to close idle connections
automatically as a back-up measure. For more information, see
the Flash Media Server Configuration and Administration Guide.

connect | () | method |
public function connect(command:String, ... arguments):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Creates a two-way connection to an application on Flash Media Server or to Flash Remoting, or creates a two-way network
endpoint for RTMFP peer-to-peer group communication. To report its status or an error condition, a
call to NetConnection.connect()
dispatches a netStatus
event.
Call NetConnection.connect()
to do the following:
- Pass "null" to play video and mp3 files from a local file system or from a web server.
- Pass an "http" URL to connect to an application server running Flash Remoting. Use the NetServices class to call functions on and return results from application servers over a NetConnection object. For more information, see the Flash Remoting documentation.
- Pass an "rtmp/e/s" URL to connect to a Flash Media Server application.
- Pass an "rtmfp" URL to create a two-way network endpoint for RTMFP client-server, peer-to-peer, and IP multicast communication.
- Pass the string "rtmfp:" to create a serverless two-way network endpoint for RTMFP IP multicast communication.
Consider the following security model:
- By default, Flash Player or AIR denies access between sandboxes. A website can enable access to a resource by using a URL policy file.
- Your application can deny access to a resource on the server. In a Flash Media Server application, use Server-Side ActionScript code to deny access. See the Flash Media Server documentation.
- You cannot call
NetConnection.connect()
if the calling file is in the local-with-file-system sandbox. - You cannot connect to commonly reserved ports. For a complete list of blocked ports, see "Restricting Networking APIs" in the ActionScript 3.0 Developer's Guide.
- To prevent a SWF file from calling this method, set the
allowNetworking
parameter of the theobject
andembed
tags in the HTML page that contains the SWF content.
However, in Adobe AIR, content in the application
security sandbox (content
installed with the AIR application) are not restricted by these security limitations.
For more information about security, see the Adobe Flash Player Developer Center: Security.
Parameters
command:String — Use one of the following values for the command parameter:
This connection type has the following limitations: Only peers on the same LAN can discover each other. Using IP multicast, Flash Player can receive streams, it cannot send them. Flash Player and AIR can send and receive streams in a peer-to-peer group, but the peers must be discovered on the same LAN using IP multicast. This technique cannot be used for one-to-one communication. | |
... arguments — Optional parameters of any type passed to the application
specified in command .
With Flash Media Server, the additional arguments are passed to the
application.onConnect() event handler in the application's server-side
code. You must define and handle the arguments in onConnect() .
|
Throws
ArgumentError — The URI passed to the command parameter is
improperly formatted.
| |
IOError — The connection failed. This can happen if you call connect()
from within a netStatus event handler, which is not allowed.
| |
SecurityError — Local-with-filesystem SWF files cannot communicate with the Internet.
You can avoid this problem by reclassifying the SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted.
| |
SecurityError — You cannot connect to commonly reserved ports.
For a complete list of blocked ports, see "Restricting Networking APIs" in the
ActionScript 3.0 Developer's Guide.

In this example, the code that creates the Video and NetStream objects and calls the
Video.attachNetStream()
and NetStream.play()
methods is placed
in a handler function. The handler is called only if the
attempt to connect to the NetConnection object is successful; that is,
when the netStatus
event returns an info
object with a code
property that indicates success.
It is recommended that you wait for a successful connection before you call
