About using FLV video 621
To work with NetStream.onMetaData, you must have Flash Video that contains metadata. If
you encode FLV files using Flash 8 Video Encoder, your FLV file will have metadata
information in it (see the following example for a list of metadata in a FLV file encoded with
Flash 8 Video Encoder).
The following example uses
NetStream.onMetaData to trace the metadata information of an
FLV file encoded with Flash 8 Video Encoder.
To use NetStream.onMetaData to view metadata information:
1. Create a new FLA file called flvMetadata.fla.
2. In the Library panel (Window > Library), select New Video from the Library
pop-up menu.
3. In the Video Properties dialog box, name the video symbol and select Video (ActionScript
controlled).
4. Click OK to create a video object.
5. Drag the video object from the Library panel to the Stage to create a video object instance.
6. With the video object selected on the Stage, type my_video in the Instance Name text box
in the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties).
7. With the video instance still selected, type 320 in the width text box and 213 in the height
text box.
8. Select Frame 1 in the Timeline, and open the Actions panel (Window > Actions).
NOTE
Flash Video Exporter 1.2 and later (including Flash 8 Video Exporter), add the metadata
to your FLV files. Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 and later also adds metadata to your video files.
