Method; specifies a video stream (source) to be displayed within the boundaries of the Video object on the Stage.

If source is null, video is no longer played within the Video object.

Example

The following example plays live video locally, without the need for Flash Communication Server.

myCam = Camera.get();
myVid.attachVideo(myCam); // myVid is a Video object on the Stage

The following example shows how to publish and record a video, and then play it back.

// This script publishes and records video
// The recorded file will be named "allAboutMe.flv"
connection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect("rtmp://localhost/allAboutMe/mySpeech");
publishStream = new NetStream(connection);
publishStream.publish("allAboutMe", "record");
publishStream.attachVideo(Camera.get());

// This script plays the recorded file.
// Note that no publishing stream is required to play a recorded file.
connection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect("rtmp://localhost/allAboutMe/mySpeech");
subscribeStream = new NetStream(connection);
subscribeStream.play("allAboutMe");
myVid.attachVideo(subscribeStream);	// myVid is a Video object on the Stage
