Syntax
[ Delphi ]
procedure SetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(Handler: TFlashPlayerControlOnGlobalLoadExternalResource); TFlashPlayerControlOnGlobalLoadExternalResource = procedure(const URL: WideString; Stream: TStream) of object; [ Builder C++ ]
void __fastcall SetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(TFlashPlayerControlOnGlobalLoadExternalResource Handler); Remark
From version 3.1 the argument URL has been changed to WideString (in previous versions the type was AnsiString / string).
Description
You can intercept and provide content of external resource a flash movie are loading. For instance, Flash Video.
To play Flash Video from stream you should create flash movie that loads Flash Video from "private" URL (http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv). Flash Movie uses the following code to load Flash Video (put this in under a button in your Swf Flash Movie):
[ ActionScript ]
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); netConn.connect(null); var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn); my_video.attachVideo(netStream); netStream.setBufferTime(0); netStream.play("http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv"); When Flash tries to load Flash Video from http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv, TFlashPlayerControl provides content of FLV. Use global procedure SetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler to set handle the external resources and provide them to Flash. See the code: [ Delphi ]
type TMainForm = class(TForm) procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); ... private procedure OnGlobalLoadExternalResource(const URL: WideString; Stream: TStream); ... end; ... procedure TMainForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin SetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(OnGlobalLoadExternalResource); end; ... procedure TMainForm.OnGlobalLoadExternalResource(const URL: WideString; Stream: TStream); var ResourceStream: TResourceStream; begin if URL = 'http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv' then begin ResourceStream := TResourceStream.Create(0, 'FlashVideo', 'FLV'); ResourceStream.SaveToStream(Stream); ResourceStream.Free; end; end; [ Builder C++ ]
