resize live streams dynamically

You could try something like this, where you take an existing stream (live or recorded), in this case "name", and re-publish it as a live stream, "stream_name". You may be able to tweak certain aspects of it.

application.playStream = function(name) {
var stream_name = (new Date()).getTime();

application.stream = Stream.get(stream_name.toString());
application.stream.record(false);
application.stream.play(name);

application.stream.onStatus = function(info) {
trace("Stream status received >> " + info.code);

if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start") {
// custom method.
application.dispatchMessage("video.play", { sname: this.name });
}
}

return stream_name;
}

Of note, however, is that your client will need to use something like

stream.play(stream_id.toString(), -1, -1);

to block until a stream is available, or receive a message from the server, as in application.dispatchMessage("video.play", { sname: this.name }), or you will get a stream not found error.

Hope it helps...
