I haven’t played much with net stream, but it seems to be the only way to get an MP4 to stream. I usually use the FLVComponent but its not working.

Anyway, I made a class and my video is not appearing for some reason. The metadata is reading in fine and it is connecting. It just doesnt seem to play.

```auto

//create an instance of the class
import com.ronnieswietek.MP4Player;

var player:MP4Player = new MP4Player("rtmp://digitalout.fcod.llnwd.net/a3870/o35/u/","mp4:test/backyard_bombshells.mp4");
addChild(player);

```

The class:

```auto

package com.ronnieswietek
{
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.media.*;
	import flash.net.*;
	import fl.video.*;
	
	public class MP4Player extends Sprite
	{
		private var video	:Video;
		private var nc :NetConnection;
		private var ns :NetStream;
		private var cc :Object;
		private var server	:String;
		private var stream	:String;
		
		public function MP4Player(server:String,stream:String)
		{
			addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
			this.server = server;
			this.stream = stream;
		}
		
		private function init(e:Event):void
		{
			cc = new Object();
			cc.onMetaData = metaDataHandler;
			cc.bwDone = onBWDone;
			nc = new NetConnection();
			nc.client = cc;
			nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);
			nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncError);
			nc.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, netSecurityError);
			nc.connect(server);
		}
		
		private function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void
		{
			var info:Object = event.info;
			trace(info.code);
			if (info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")
			{
				video = new Video();
				ns = new NetStream(nc);
				ns.client = cc;
				ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncError);
				video.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE, playheadUpdate);
				video.attachNetStream(ns);
				ns.play(stream);
				addChild(video);
			}
		}
		
		private function asyncError(e:AsyncErrorEvent):void
		{
			trace("AsyncErrorEvent: " + e);
		}
		
		private function netSecurityError(e:SecurityErrorEvent):void
		{
			trace("netSecurityError: " + e);
		}
		
		private function onBWDone(info:Object):void
		{
		}
		
		private function metaDataHandler(info:Object):void
		{
			video.width = info.width;
			video.height = info.height;
		}
		
		private function playheadUpdate(e:VideoEvent):void
		{
			trace(e);
		}
	}
}
