Listing E.4 Flash ActionScript for Subscribing to or Receiving a Video Stream

nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(info) {
      trace("LEVEL: "+info.level+"  CODE: "+info.code);
      if (info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
            // Call a function to setup the NetStream Subscription
            startStreamSubscribe();
      }
};
startStreamSubscribe = function () {
      // that exists on the Flash Stage.
      // attach a NetStream to the variable, sub_ns
      sub_ns = new NetStream(nc);
      // attach the Subscription source to a Video Object on the stage
      my_video.attachVideo(sub_ns);
      // Start the stream, "serverStream", (-2) if the live source is not available,
      // look for a recored stream of the same name.  (-1)Play until the stream is over
      sub_ns.play("serverStream", -2, -1);
};
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/myApplication/myInstance", "Tracey Davis", "Bert");
