var my_video:Video; // my_video is a Video object on the Stage.
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("video1.flv");
pause_btn.onRelease = function() {
    my_ns.pause();
    my_video.clear();
};
