Can I get this code to stream a radio station?

Question

I have a radio station in AAC format.
I got this code to play an m4a file, but how would I get it to play an m4a stream?
The stream I'd like to use is http://89.238.166.195:9162
var mySound:SoundTransform;
var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connect_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
stream_ns.play("sample.m4a");
mySound = stream_ns.soundTransform;
mySound.volume = .5;
stream_ns.soundTransform = mySound;
how would I go about playing a streaming radio service.

Well, a RandomAccessFile together with a counter should work. However, you can also achieve this by buffering the input rather than writing it directly out
java.util.Vector vect = new java.util.Vector();
try{
     while((c = istream.read()) != -1){
         vect.append(c);
catch(IOException e){
     System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());      
finally{
     istream.close();                 
}     with the help of
java.util.Vector.size() and
java.util.Vector.elementAt(int index)
you are able to display only 20 lines at a time, you just need the additional code for reading System.in
public static void prompt(String s){
    System.out.print(s + " ");
    System.out.flush();
  public static String readData ( BufferedReader in)  {
    boolean verfuegbar = true;
    while ( verfuegbar){
      try{
        S = in.readLine();
        if ( S != null)verfuegbar = false ;
      catch (IOException e){System.out.print (e);}
    return S;
  }now it should work with
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
prompt("return for continuing");
int twentscount = 0;
int count = 0;
do{
   while( count < 20 && twentscount+count < vect.size() ){
       outstream.write(vect.elementAt(twentscount + count).toString() );
       count++;
prompt("return");
readData(in);
twentscount += 20;
count = 0;
while(twentscount + count < vect.size());sure, this is code from head, and you can make many changes (e.g. instead of using twentscount use the modulo (%) operator saving one variable (while count % 20 != 0 ).
I'm also not sure if it will definitly run , since i haven't tested it (especialy for index borders).
I hope this will give you enough hints for this possible solution.
