Packageflash.net
Classpublic final class NetStreamInfo
InheritanceNetStreamInfo Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5, Flash Lite 4

The NetStreamInfo class specifies the various Quality of Service (QOS) statistics and other information related to a NetStream object and the underlying streaming buffer for audio, video, and data. A NetStreamInfo object is returned in response to the NetStream.info call, which takes a snapshot of the current QOS state and provides the QOS statistics through the NetStreamInfo properties.

Note: AIR 3.0 for iOS does not support any NetStreamInfo properties.

    public function get audioBufferByteLength():Number

audioBufferLength

property 
audioBufferLength:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5, Flash Lite 4

Provides NetStream audio buffer size in seconds. This property extends the NetStream.bufferLength property and provides the buffer length in time specifically for audio data.

property 
dataBytesPerSecond:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5, Flash Lite 4

Specifies the rate at which the NetStream data buffer is filled in bytes per second. The value is calculated as a smooth average for the data messages received in the last second.
