How to get ByteArray of a Video?

I am using this example to load a FLV file to my project, it's very simple. It works, but I would like to get the bytes (as ByteArray) after I load the video. Is there any way I can perform this procedure?

For convenience, I was using the File object (Adobe AIR) to load the file, but have not found a way to convert the bytes to a Video object.

Does anyone have any idea how I can load a video file and, after loading, get the ByteArray of this object?

        var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
        connection.connect(null);
        var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
        var client:Object = {};
        client.onMetadata = function():void{};
        stream.client = client;

        var video:Video = new Video();
        addChild(video);
        video.attachNetStream(stream);

        stream.play(null);
        stream.appendBytesAction(NetStreamAppendBytesAction.RESET_BEGIN);

        var file:File = new File("path/to/your/video.flv");
        var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
        fileStream.open(file, FileMode.READ);

        // this gives you access to the raw bytes of the file
        var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
        fileStream.readBytes(bytes);

        // this adds the bytes to the NetStream and begins playback
        stream.appendBytes(bytes);
