Creating applications with media components

Creating Flash content by using media components is quite simple and often requires only a few steps. This example shows how to create an application to play a small, publicly available media file.

To add a media component to an application:

Select File > New and choose Flash File (ActionScript 2.0).
In the Components panel, double-click the MediaPlayback component to add it to the Stage.
In the Property inspector, do the following:
- Enter the instance name myMedia.
- Click Launch Component Inspector.
In the Component inspector, enter http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv in the URL text box.
Select Control > Test Movie to see the media play.
