How to display mp4 then pause and replay in Flash CC - actionscript-3

Question

I’m resurrecting a simple banner where we used an FLV movie and the following code to have the movie pause using setInterval and then play again. It’s a simple butterfly movie that flaps it’s wings and then goes back to a static state.
Looks like FLVs are now discouraged in the more recent Flash versions so I would like to know how to make a movie play, then pause using setInterval, then replay.
Here is the working AS3 when using an FLV on the Timeline in a frame based animation but does not work with an imported .mp4:
stop();
function timesUp()
{
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 1");
clearInterval(itv);
}
var itv=setInterval(timesUp, 15000);
Do the new suggested methods use a single frame movie where you load and play the mp4, then use setInterval as a timer to replay?
I can’t find any tutorials that have this method as an example.
I did read a tutorial on the Adobe site but the following did not load and play the movie (morpho.mp4)
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var vid:Video = new Video();
addChild(vid);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,netStatusHandler);
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
// handle netStatus events, described later
}
function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void
{
// ignore error
}
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("morpho.mp4");

Try this :
import flash.utils.Timer
import flash.events.TimerEvent
var video_playing:Boolean = false,
timer:Timer,
nc:NetConnection,
ns:NetStream,
video:Video,
video_name:String = 'video.mp4'
nc = new NetConnection()
nc.connect(null)
ns = new NetStream(nc)
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,netStatusHandler);
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
switch (event.info.code){
case 'NetStream.Play.Start' :
if(timer.currentCount == 0){
timer.start()
}
break
}
}
function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void {
}
video = new Video(135, 135) // set the size of video to 135x135px
video.x = 165 // set the left of video to 300 - 135 = 165px
video.y = 0 // set the top of video to 0
video.attachNetStream(ns)
addChild(video)
timer = new Timer(1000, 3) // 3 seconds, just for example
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timer_on_Complete)
function timer_on_Complete(e:TimerEvent){
if(video_playing){
video_playing = false
ns.close()
} else {
start_video()
}
timer.reset()
timer.start()
}
start_video()
function start_video(){
ns.play(video_name)
video_playing = true
}
