playing an .FLV

How about capitalizing the v in "attachVideo"?

Yes, that works!

CORRECTED VERSION

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream (nc);

theVideo.attachvideo(ns);

ns.play(" http://www.portfolionewengland.com/try1.flv");

Nope. Still doesn't display video.

whoops, I just caught the typo in line 3. I'll try it again.

I'm now trying to make my own controller. I followed a tutorial and have the actionscript word for word. When I play the movie I get the audio portion but no video.



var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns=NetStream = new NetStream (nc);

theVideo.attachvideo(ns);

ns.play(" http://www.portfolionewengland.com/try1.flv");

Hi!

You can learn how to create your own .flv player at
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/
(check out video basics 1 to 8).
This might also give you answer to your current question.

I hope it can be of some help.
