Availability

Usage

myStream.close()

Parameters

None.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; stops publishing or playing all data on the stream, sets the NetStream.time property to 0, and makes the stream available for another use. This method is invoked implicitly whenever you call NetStream.play from a publishing stream, or NetStream.publish from a subscribing stream.

	If this method is called from a publishing stream, all pending `NetStream.play` calls on the stream are cleared on the server; subscribers no longer receive anything that was being published on the stream.
	If this method is called from a subscribing stream, publishing continues and other subscribing streams may still be playing, but the subscriber can now use the stream for another purpose.
	To stop play on a subscribing stream without closing the stream or changing the stream type, use `myStream.play(false)`.

Example

The following onDisconnect() function closes a stream.

function onDisconnect() {

	// Stops publishing the stream.
	srcStream.close();
	
	// Deletes the source stream connection. With no source
	// to play, the destination stream also ends and can be
	// deleted.
	connection.close();
}
