Stream class
145
You can use the properties and methods of the Stream class to shuffle streams in a playlist, pull
streams from other servers, and play and record streams.
You can also use the Stream class to play MP3 files over a stream, as well as ID3 tags associated
with MP3 files.
You can create other Stream properties of any legal ActionScript type, including references to
other ActionScript objects, for a particular instance of the Stream class. The properties are
available until the stream is removed from the application.
For more information about streams, see the “NetStream class” entry in the
