Steven,
I can't figure out a way to use ByteArray. I am able to load the flv
as ByteArray, but I can't see a way to load this into a Netstream
object. Any thought on that?
private function load(url:String):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,errorHandler);
loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,errorHandler);
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
}
private function completeHandler(e:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = e.target as URLLoader;
trace(loader.data); // :-) how to go on from here?
}
Matthias
