Am building a video chat application and i was wondering if there are any native events for the NetStream that fire , that can help in detecting when a remote client starts/stops streaming video over his outgoing stream (NetStream) to which the other client has subscribed over P2P/RTFMP in AS3 ?.

I maybe able to dispatch custom messages since the two clients are already connected, but i don't want to add the extra overhead.

All the event codes for NetStatusEvent can be found here

You just need to have the listener set up and look for "NetStream.Play.Start" and "NetStream.Play.Stop"

e.g.

private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
// handles net status events
switch (event.info.code)
{
case "NetConnection.Play.Start" :

//do stuff

break;
}
}

  • I Obviously tried that, but these events relate to Playing/Stopping of NetStreams and NOT the video stream that is being streamed over them. I do not want to break the NetStream connection, just toggle video streams over them. – Khalid Bajwa May 02 '11 at 02:08
  • I am sorry that wasn't what you where looking for. If the event codes do not suffice you may be able to use SharedObject [link](http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/SharedObject.html) but you may have to go a bit further and dig into server side actionscript [link](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/ssaslr/index.html) This book goes into detailed examples of how to use SASS [link](http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596515904) – Thomas Brasington May 02 '11 at 10:33
