Demo Showing How to Play a FLV File

This is a demo showing how to implement a video player in AS3. Click on the buttons below to play, pause or stop the video. Code is presented below.

import fl.controls.Button;
import fl.controls.Slider;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;

var firstRun = true;

// Step 1: Create new connection
var connection : NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);

// Step 2: Create a stream
var stream : NetStream = new NetStream(connection);

// Step 3: Create a video
var vid : Video = new Video();
addChild(vid);
vid.attachNetStream(stream);
stream.receiveVideo(true);
stream.receiveAudio(false);

// Step 4: Add video event handlers
stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netstat);
var netClient : Object = new Object();
netClient.onMetaData = netmeta;
stream.client = netClient;

// Play button
var bPlay : Button = new Button;
bPlay.label = "Play";
bPlay.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, playButton);
bPlay.x = 10; bPlay.y = 265; bPlay.width = 45;
addChild(bPlay);

// Pause button
var bPause : Button = new Button;
bPause.label = "Pause";
bPause.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, pauseButton);
bPause.x = bPlay.x + bPlay.width + 10; bPause.y = bPlay.y; bPause.width = 45;
addChild(bPause);

// Stop button
var bStop : Button = new Button;
bStop.label = "Stop";
bStop.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, stopButton);
bStop.x = bPause.x + bPause.width + 10; bStop.y = bPlay.y; bStop.width = 45;
addChild(bStop);

// Fullscreen button
var bFull : Button = new Button;
bFull.label = "Full";
bFull.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, fullButton);
bFull.x = bStop.x + bStop.width + 10; bFull.y = bPlay.y; bFull.width = 45;
addChild(bFull);

// Replay button
var bReplay : Button = new Button;
bReplay.label = "Replay";
bReplay.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, playButton);

// Add Slider and event listeners for slider
var slider : Slider = new Slider();
slider.minimum = 1;
slider.maximum = 100;
slider.move(10, 250);
slider.setSize(212, 0);
slider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, sliderChange);
addChild(slider);
// this will position the slider to current position of movie
var updateSlider : Timer = new Timer(100);
updateSlider.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(e : TimerEvent) { slider.value = stream.time * 10; } ); updateSlider.start();
// stop updating the slider if user clicks on it
slider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.THUMB_PRESS, function(e : SliderEvent) { updateSlider.stop(); } );
slider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.THUMB_RELEASE, function(e : SliderEvent) { updateSlider.start(); } );

// add play, pause and replay button to context menu
var myMenu : ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
var item1 : ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Replay");
var item2 : ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Pause");
var item3 : ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Full Screen");
myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
myMenu.customItems.push(item1, item2, item3);
item1.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, playButton);
item2.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, pauseButton);
item3.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, fullButton);
this.contextMenu = myMenu;
