public attachVideo(source:Object) : Void

Specifies a video stream (source) to be displayed within the boundaries of the Video object on the Stage. The video stream is either an FLV file being displayed by means of the NetStream.play() command, or null. If source is null, video is no longer played within the Video object.

You don't have to use this method if the FLV file contains only audio; the audio portion of FLV files is played automatically when the NetStream.play() command is issued.

If you want to control the audio associated with an FLV file, you can use MovieClip.attachAudio() to route the audio to a movie clip; you can then create a Sound object to control some aspects of the audio. For more information, see MovieClip.attachAudio().

Availability

ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6 - The ability to work with Flash Video (FLV) files was added in Flash Player 7.

Example

The following example plays a previously recorded file named video1.flv that is stored in the same directory as the SWF file.

    var my_video:Video; // my_video is a Video object on the Stage
    var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    my_nc.connect(null);
    var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
    my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
    my_ns.play("video1.flv");
