Classpublic class NCManager
InheritanceNCManager Inheritance Object
Implements INCManager
Subclasses NCManagerNative

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Creates the 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.

fallbackServerName

property 
public var fallbackServerName:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Exposes the fallbackServerName property indirectly or directly.

  • Indirectly—Supply a second <meta base> in SMIL. The fallbackServerName property uses that base attribute. (The fallbackServerName property uses the server name only, nothing else.)
  • Directly—Access the ncMgr property in FLVPlayback or VideoPlayer and set the fallbackServerName property or use the setProperty() method.

isRTMP

property 
isRTMP:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Whether the URL is for RTMP streaming from a Flash Media Server (FMS) or a progressive download. If the stream is an RTMP stream from an FMS, then true. If the stream is a progressive download of an HTTP, local or other file, then false.

netConnection

property 
netConnection:NetConnection  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Reference to the NetConnection object.



Implementation
    public function get netConnection():NetConnection

streamHeight

property 
streamHeight:int  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

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, then this value will be used and the resizing will happen instantly, rather than waiting.



Implementation
    public function get streamHeight():int

Related API Elements

streamLength

property 
streamLength:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

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.



Implementation
    public function get streamLength():Number

Width of the stream, in pixels. After the VideoPlayer.ncConnected() method is called, if the streamWidth property is less than 0, that indicates to the VideoPlayer object that there is no stream width information. If the VideoPlayer object has the scaleMode property set to VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO or VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE, then this value is used and the resizing happens instantly, rather than waiting.

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).

Returns
Boolean — 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.

Returns
Boolean — If a connection is made synchronously, true. If an attempt is made asynchronously so caller should expect a "connected" event coming, false.

getProperty

()method 
public function getProperty(propertyName:String):*

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Allows getting of the fallbackServerName, fpadZone, objectEncoding, and proxyType properties. See setProperty() for an explanation of these properties.

Parameters

propertyName:String — The name of the property that the getProperty method is calling.

Returns
* — String representation of the fallbackServerName, fpadZone, objectEncoding, and proxyType properties.

helperDone

()method 
public function helperDone(helper:Object, success:Boolean):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Called by any helper object doing a task for the NCManager object to signal it has completed and whether it was successful. The NCManager object uses this with SMILManager.

Parameters

helper:Object — The helper object.
 
success:Boolean — A setting to signal when a task is completed. If success is true, then the task was completed successfully; otherwise false.

reconnect

()method 
public function reconnect():void

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 reconnection after the connection is lost. Once the connection is either successful or failed, call the VideoPlayer.ncReconnected() method. If the connection failed, set nc = null before calling.

setProperty

()method 
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.

Default is 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.
 
value:* — The property value.

NCManagerExample.as

This example demonstrates how to access the NCManager object of a VideoPlayer object to determine whether a video is streaming or downloading progressively.

To run the example, follow these steps:

  1. Add the FLVPlayback component in the library.
  2. Replace testVideoPath with an absolute or relative path to an FLV file.
  3. Save this code as NCManagerExample.as in the same directory as your FLA file.
  4. Set the Document class in the FLA file to NCManagerExample.
package
{
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    import fl.video.VideoPlayer;
    import flash.display.Sprite;    

    public class NCManagerExample extends Sprite 
    {
        private var videoPath:String = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/sheep.flv"
        private var player:VideoPlayer;
        
        public function NCManagerExample() {
            player = new VideoPlayer();
            player.play(videoPath);
            player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY,announceRTMS);
            addChild(player);
        }
        private function announceRTMS(e:VideoEvent):void {
            var player:VideoPlayer = e.target as VideoPlayer;
            if(player.ncMgr.isRTMP) {
                trace("Video is streaming");
            }
            else {
