Recording live broadcast

You can't do any sort of screen capture or anything like that. What you CAN do is use netstream.send to trigger events in the client.

Let's say, for example, you have a function in your actionscript named playAnimation(), and a stream named someStream. To trigger that function, your code might look something like this:

Client side:
function playAnimation(){
// do something here
}
my_netconnection.triggerAnimation = function(){
playAnimation();
}

On the server side:
application.tellClientToRunAnimation = function(){
someStream.send('triggerAnimation");
}

Now, when the server side function is called, a message goes out across the stream, and tells the client to run the function.

Now, here's where it gets really cool. IF you're recording the stream, the netstream.send call gets saved in the flv file. So, when you play it back, the triggerAnimation call gets fired off again on playback, at the same point in time at which you sent it duing the live broadcast.

Of course, using this method only works if you play back the flv in an swf that's set up with the proper functions. If the .swf deson't have the functions you're calling with the netstream.send event, nothing will happen.

Hope it helps.
