The FLVPlayback class wraps the VideoPlayer class.
Use the FLVPlayback class in almost all cases because there is no functionality in the VideoPlayer class that cannot be accessed using the FLVPlayback class.
In addition, the FLVPlayback class automatically interfaces with the NCManager
class to access streaming FLV files on a video server, such as Flash Media Server. You interact with the
NCManager class when you set the contentPath property and when you pass
a URL to the play() and load() methods. If you use the
VideoPlayer class by itself, however,
you must include the following statement in your ActionScript code to make sure
the NCManager class is included:
var _forceNCManager:fl.video.NCManager;
The NCManager class implements an interface, INCManager, and it can be replaced with a custom class for managing network communications that implements this interface. If you do that, you also need to include the following statement, replacing NCManager with the name of the class you have provided:
fl.video.VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManager;
You do not need to add this statement if you are using the default NCManager class.
Note: You also can set iNCManagerClass to replace the default
fl.video.NCManager when using the FLVPlayback component.
To handle multiple streams for multiple bandwidths, NCManager supports a subset of SMIL.

align | property |
align:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Specifies how the video is displayed relative to the
registrationX, registrationY,
registrationWidth and
registrationHeight properties. The align property does
this autolayout when the scaleMode property is set to
VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO or
VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE. Changing this property
after an FLV file is loaded causes an automatic layout to
start immediately.
Values come
from the VideoAlign class.
The default value is VideoAlign.CENTER.

autoRewind | property |
autoRewind:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A Boolean value that, if true, causes the FLV file to rewind to
Frame 1 when play stops, either because the player reached the end of the
stream or the stop() method was called. This property is
meaningless for live streams.
The default value is false.
Implementation

bufferTime:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A number that specifies the number of seconds to buffer in memory before beginning to play a video stream. For FLV files streaming over RTMP, which are not downloaded and buffer only in memory, it can be important to increase this setting from the default value of 0.1. For a progressively downloaded FLV file over HTTP, there is little benefit to increasing this value although it could improve viewing a high-quality video on an older, slower computer.
For prerecorded (not live) video, do not set the bufferTime
property to 0; use the default buffer time or increase the buffer
time.
This property does not specify the amount of the FLV file to download before starting playback.

idleTimeout | property |
idleTimeout:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
The amount of time, in milliseconds, before Flash terminates an idle connection to a video server, such as Flash Media Server, because playing paused or stopped. This property has no effect on an FLV file downloading over HTTP.
If this property is set when a video stream is already idle, it restarts the timeout period with the new value.

To make all VideoPlayer objects use your
custom class as the default INCManager implementation, set the
iNCManagerClass property to the class object or string name
of your custom class.
The FLVPlayback class includes the definition
of the custom class; the video player does not.
The default value is "fl.video.NCManager" as a string.

isLive:Boolean [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A Boolean value that is true if the video stream is live. This property
is effective only when streaming from a video server, such as Flash Media Server or other Flash Video Streaming Service. The value of this
property is ignored for an HTTP download.
Set the isLive property to false when sending a prerecorded video
stream to the video player and to true when sending real-time data
such as a live broadcast. For better performance when you set
the isLive property to false, do not set the
bufferTime property to 0.

metadata | property |
metadata:Object [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
An object that is a metadata information packet that is received from a call to
the NetSteam.onMetaData() callback method, if available.
Ready when the metadataReceived event is dispatched.
If the FLV file is encoded with the Flash 8 encoder, the metadata
property contains the following information. Older FLV files contain
only the height, width, and duration values.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
canSeekToEnd | A Boolean value that is true if the FLV file is encoded with a keyframe on the last frame that allows seeking to the end of a progressive download movie clip. It is false if the FLV file is not encoded with a keyframe on the last frame. |
cuePoints | An array of objects, one for each cue point embedded in the FLV file. Value is undefined if the FLV file does not contain any cue points. Each object has the following properties:
|
audiocodecid | A number that indicates the audio codec (code/decode technique) that was used. |
audiodelay | A number that represents time 0 in the source file from which the FLV file was encoded.
Video content is delayed for the short period of time that is required to synchronize the audio. For example, if the Note that the FLVPlayback and VideoPlayer classes compensate for this delay in their time settings. This means that you can continue to use the time settings that you used in your the source file. |
audiodatarate | A number that is the kilobytes per second of audio. |
videocodecid | A number that is the codec version that was used to encode the video. |
framerate | A number that is the frame rate of the FLV file. |
videodatarate | A number that is the video data rate of the FLV file. |
height | A number that is the height of the FLV file. |
width | A number that is the width of the FLV file. |

netConnection:NetConnection [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

netStreamClientClass | property |
public static var netStreamClientClass:Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.115.0, AIR 1.0 |
Registers a custom class for the NetStream's client property.
By default, fl.video.VideoPlayerClient is used; this class handles the onMetaData() and onCuePoint() messages.
To add custom handling for other messages, such as onImageData() and onTextData(),
you can create your own class and set this property to the class.
The constructor for the class must take a VideoPlayer instance as its only parameter, and it must have a Boolean ready property.
This property should be false while the Client is still waiting for any data messages expected at the beginning of the file.
If the VideoPlayer does its resize autorewind before these messages are received, they may never be received.
By default, fl.video.VideoPlayerClient will return true from the ready property as soon as onMetaData() is called.
You can set the property to the class object itself (as in the example below) or the string name of the class:
import fl.video.
VideoPlayer.netStreamClientClass = MyCustomClient;
Note that setting it to the string name of the class is not enough by itself to force the class to be compiled into the SWF.
The default value is the class object fl.video.VideoPlayerClient, not the string name.
It is strongly recommended that any custom implementation should subclass fl.video.VideoPlayer.
To do otherwise risks breaking the metadata and cue point handling built into the VideoPlayer and the FLVPlayback component.
The default value is fl.video.VideoPlayerClient.
Throws
VideoError — If this property is set to an invalid value, VideoError.NETSTREAM_CLIENT_CLASS_UNSET will be thrown.

playheadTime | property |
playheadTime:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A number that is the current playhead time or position, measured in seconds, which can be a fractional value. Setting this property triggers a seek and has all the restrictions of a seek.
When the playhead time changes, which includes once every .25 seconds
while the FLV file plays, the component dispatches the playheadUpdate
event.
For several reasons, the playheadTime property might not have the expected
value immediately after calling one of the seek methods or setting playheadTime
to cause seeking. First, for a progressive download, you can seek only to a
keyframe, so a seek takes you to the time of the first keyframe after the
specified time. (When streaming, a seek always goes to the precise specified
time even if the source FLV file doesn't have a keyframe there.) Second,
seeking is asynchronous, so if you call a seek method or set the
playheadTime property, playheadTime does not update immediately.
To obtain the time after the seek is complete, listen for the seek event,
which does not fire until the playheadTime property has updated.
Implementation
public function get playheadTime():Number public function set playheadTime(value:Number):voidRelated API Elements
playheadUpdateInterval | property |
playheadUpdateInterval:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A number that is the amount of time, in milliseconds, between each
playheadUpdate event. Setting this property while the FLV file is
playing restarts the timer.
Because ActionScript cue points start on playhead updates, lowering
the value of the playheadUpdateInterval property can increase the accuracy
of ActionScript cue points.
Because the playhead update interval is set by a call to the global
setInterval() method, the update cannot fire more frequently than the
SWF file frame rate, as with any interval that is set this way.
So, as an example, for the default frame rate of 12 frames per second,
the lowest effective interval that you can create is approximately
83 milliseconds, or one second (1000 milliseconds) divided by 12.
The default value is 250.

with the height property. The height
property reflects the actual height of the video content.
Example 1, load an 80x80 FLV file with the following settings:
registrationX= 100registrationY= 100registrationWidth= 60registrationHeight= 40align=VideoAlign.CENTERscaleMode=VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE
x= 90y= 80width= 80height= 80
Example 2, load the same scenario as example 1 but with the following settings:
scaleMode=VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO
x= 110y= 100width= 40height= 80
Example 3, load the same scenario as example 2 but with the following settings:
scaleMode=VideoScaleMode.EXACT_FIT
x= 100y= 100width= 60height= 40
Setting the registrationHeight property is
equivalent to setting the height property and vice
versa. Setting any other property or calling any method that
alters the height, such as scaleX,
setSize, and setScale, setting keeps
height and registrationHeight in sync.

Specifies how the video resizes after loading. If set to
VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO, maintains the
video aspect ratio within the rectangle defined by
registrationX, registrationY,
registrationWidth and
registrationHeight. If set to
VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE, causes the video to size automatically
to the dimensions of the source FLV file. If set to
VideoScaleMode.EXACT_FIT, causes the dimensions of
the source FLV file to be ignored and the video is stretched to
fit the rectangle defined by
registrationX, registrationY,

source | property |
source:String [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A string that specifies the URL of the FLV file to stream and how to stream it. The URL can be an HTTP URL to an FLV file, an RTMP URL to a stream, or an HTTP URL to an XML file.
If you set this property through the Component inspector or the Property inspector,
the FLV file begins loading and playing at the next enterFrame event.
The delay provides time to set the isLive, autoPlay,
and cuePoints properties,
among others, which affect loading. It also allows ActionScript that is placed
on the first frame to affect the FLVPlayback component before it starts playing.
If you set this property through ActionScript, it immediately calls the
VideoPlayer.load() method when the autoPlay property is
set to false. Alternatively, it calls the VideoPlayer.play() method when
the autoPlay property is set to true. The autoPlay,
totalTime, and isLive properties affect how the new FLV file is
loaded, so if you set these properties, you must set them before setting the
source property.
Set the autoPlay property to false to prevent the new
FLV file from playing automatically.

state | property |
state:String [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A string that specifies the state of the component. This property is set by the
load(), play(), stop(), pause(),
and seek() methods.
The possible values for the state property are: buffering,
connectionError, disconnected, loading,
paused, playing, rewinding, seeking,
and stopped. You can use the FLVPlayback class properties to test for
these states.

stateResponsive:Boolean [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A Boolean value that is true if the state is responsive. If the state is
unresponsive, calls to the play(), load(), stop(),
pause(), and seek()
methods are queued and executed later, when the state changes to a
responsive one. Because these calls are queued and executed later,
it is usually not necessary to track the value of the stateResponsive
property. The responsive states are:
stopped, playing, paused, and buffering.

totalTime | property |
totalTime:Number [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
A number that is the total playing time for the video in seconds.
When streaming from Flash Media Server (FMS) and using the default
NCManager, this value is determined
automatically by server-side application programming interfaces (APIs), and that value
overrides anything set through this property or gathered
from metadata. The property is ready for reading when the
stopped or playing state is reached after setting the
source property. This property is meaningless for live streams
from an FMS.
With an HTTP download, the value is determined automatically if the FLV file has metadata embedded; otherwise, set it explicitly, or it will be NaN. If you set it explicitly, the metadata value in the stream is ignored.
When you set this property, the value takes effect for the next
FLV file that is loaded by setting source. It has no effect
on an FLV file that has already loaded. Also, this property does not return
the new value passed in until an FLV file is loaded.
Playback still works if this property is never set (either explicitly or automatically), but it can cause problems with seek controls.
Unless set explicitly, the value will be NaN until it is set to a valid value from metadata.

frame of the FLV file is shown.
After initial loading and autolayout, the state is VideoState.PAUSED.
This method takes the same parameters as the play() method,
but you cannot call the load() method without a URL.
If you do, an error is thrown. If the video player is in an unresponsive state,
the load() method queues the request.

Plays the FLV file when enough of it has downloaded. If the FLV file has downloaded
or you are streaming from Flash Media Server (FMS), then calling the playWhenEnoughDownloaded()
method is identical to the play() method with no parameters. Calling
this method does not pause playback, so in many cases, you may want to call

seek | () | method |
public function seek(time:Number):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Seeks to a given time in the file, specified in seconds, with a precision of three decimal places (milliseconds). If a video is playing, the video continues to play from that point. If a video is paused, the video seeks to that point and remains paused. If a video is stopped, the video seeks to that point and enters the paused state. Has no effect with live streams.
The playheadTime property might not have the expected value
immediately after you call one of the seek methods or set
playheadTime to cause seeking. For a progressive download,
you can seek only to a keyframe; therefore, a seek takes you to the
time of the first keyframe after the specified time.
Note: When streaming, a seek always goes to the precise specified time even if the source FLV file doesn't have a keyframe there.
Seeking is asynchronous, so if you call a seek method or set the
playheadTime property, playheadTime does not update immediately.
To obtain the time after the seek is complete, listen for the seek event,
which does not start until the playheadTime property is updated.
Throws an exception if called when no stream is
connected. Use the stateChange event and
the connected property to determine when it is
safe to call this method.
Parameters
time:Number — A number that specifies the time, in seconds, at which to place the
playhead.
