There two ways to do it. A client-side method and server-side method. In both cases (confusingly) it is called a server-side playlist. The client-side server-side playlist is the classic method:

netstream.play(“example1.flv”,0,-1,true);

netstream.play(“example2.flv”,0,-1,false);

The server-side server-side playlist is done like this:

Sorry this is confusing, but the term “server-side playlist” was coined too soon, and can now refer to several things that are either implemented differently (as in the above two methods) or have very different uses and behaviors (as in the Stream class streams), or the Smil files for HTTP streaming.
