Play FLV from ByteArray in Flash Player

actionscript-3apache-flexflashflvvideo

I have a flash video file (FLV) stored in the ByteArray object and would like to play this video. Is there any way to achieve it? Maybe using Alchemy?

Thank you!

There is now a better way of playing a video that you have stored in a ByteArray using NetStream.appendBytes().

Here is an example of it in use: http://www.bytearray.org/?p=1689

One option would be to save the bytes as a temp file and then play back from the local filesystem.

// write to temp file
var f:File = File.createTempFile();
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeBytes(bytes);
fs.close();

// play back
var display:VideoDisplay; // created somehow
display.source = f.url;

Not sure about some of the details (Does the temp file need a .flv extension? Does the source URL need to be the native path or some such?) but that approach should work within AIR.

Flash CS4 refuses to let go

Flash still has the ASO file, which is the compiled byte code for your classes. On Windows, you can see the ASO files here:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\en\Configuration\Classes\aso

On a Mac, the directory structure is similar in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/

You can remove those files by hand, or in Flash you can select Control->Delete ASO files to remove them.
