The FLVPlayback class allows you to include a video player in your application to play progressively downloaded video (FLV) files over HTTP, or play streaming FLV files from Flash Media Server (FMS) or other Flash Video Streaming Service (FVSS).

Unlike other ActionScript 3.0 components, the FLVPlayback component does not extend UIComponent; therefore, it does not support the methods and properties of that class.

To access the properties, methods, and events of the FLVPlayback class, you must import the class to your application either by dragging the FLVPlayback component to the Stage in your Flash application, or by explicitly importing it in ActionScript using the import statement. The following statement imports the FLVPlayback class:

     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;

The FLVPlayback class has a VERSION constant, which is a class property. Class properties are available only on the class itself. The VERSION constant returns a string that indicates the version of the component. The following code shows the version in the Output panel:

     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     trace(FLVPlayback.VERSION);
