How Do I Get Access to a Client's Streams

I think you are confusing the name of the client and the name of the stream. The name of the stream is just the name of an FLV file saved under the application streams directory (minus the .FLV extension).

The way to receive stream callbacks on a client-by-client basis is to give each client his own unique stream, and then republish the original stream for each client. For instance, suppose you have an FLV file on your server called "foo.flv" that you want to publish:

application.onConnect = function(client, unique_id) {
client.readAccess = "/" + unique_id;
client.writeAccess = "";
application.acceptConnection(client);
Stream unique_stream = Stream.get(unique_id);
unique_stream.onStatus = function(info) { /*Your code here*/ };
unique_stream.onPlayStatus = function(info) { /*Your code here*/ };
unique_stream.play("foo", 0, -1);
};

The above code creates a new stream with a unique name, and then republishes the "foo.flv" file to that stream. unique_id is a unique value generated by you (e.g. a user name) and passed in by the client via NetConnection.connect(server, unique_id);

Your player client then subscribes to his own stream with:
NetStream.play(unique_id, 0, -1);

The advantage to this approach is that you have control over the stream of each individual client. You would not have this level of control if your clients just subscribed directly to the "foo" stream.
