Answer 1

Hi,
You can do server side play of the recorded media file. After that once any one connects to that application, that file will be played as live. Following is the code to do this:
var streamname="stream_name.flv"; //Name of the recorded media file
application.onAppStart=function(){
          application.onNCA();
application.onConnect=function(clientObj){
          application.acceptConnection(clientObj);
          trace("***Connected : "+isConnected);
application.onNCA=function(){
          trace("onCA "+streamname);
          streamObj=Stream.get("foo");  // foo will be the live stream name
                    streamObj.onStatus = onStreamStatus;
                    trace("here "+streamname.split(".")[1]);
                    switch(streamname.split(".")[1]){
                              case "mp4":
                              case "3gp":
                              case "f4v":
                                        streamPlayName="mp4:"+streamname;
                                        break;
                              case "mp3":
                                        streamPlayName="mp3:"+streamname.split(".")[0];
                                        break;
                              case "flv":
                                        streamPlayName=streamname.split(".")[0];
                                        break;
                    trace(streamPlayName);
                    streamObj.play(streamPlayName);
function onStreamStatus(info){
          trace("Stream "+info.code);
application.onDisconnect=function(clientObj){
          application.shutdown();
Anyone connecting to above app will be able to play "foo" as livestream name.
