Pause publishing to the server

Is there a good way of pausing a recording to a streaming server in AS3.

In AS2 you could just do this:


// Pause
netStreamOut.publish(false);

// Resume
netStreamOut.publish(filename, "append");

But in AS3 there´s no publish(false). Well you could close the stream and then opend a new one and then do append, but I don´t want to close the active stream. It feels unnecessary. Or what? :worried:
