streaming video, flash media server, SMIL files

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I admit to being in way over my head, and quite astonished that I have this working at all.

I in fact used the articles you pointed to to build my player not using the flvplayback component.

I have a video object on stage, in the properties panel it shows as "Linked Video", instance video, with a little camcorder icon.

The only reference I could find in the adobe articles

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1_05.html#walk03

refers to using the flvplayback component and just setting the smil by simply saying

flvpb.source = "dynamicStream.smil";

can I just remove the dsi.addstream stuff and set
video.source = "mySmilFile.smil";

If not how do I go about it?

here is what seems the relevant code from my fla as it is.
I am pretty sure this is everything which deals with
making a connection and playing the video.
I took out all the buttons and progress bar stuff.
I am using the ADOBE ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 DYNAMIC STREAMING CLASS from

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/

var _ds:DynamicStream;

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

nc.connect("rtmp://ss1.myServer/");

nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatus);

function createNetstream (){

_ds = new DynamicStream( nc );

_ds.addEventListener( NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatus );

_ds.client = this;

video.attachNetStream( _ds );

_ds.startBufferLength = 2;

_ds.preferredBufferLength = 5;

_ds.aggressiveModeBufferLength = 2;

_ds.switchQOSTimerDelay = 1;

playVideo();

}

function onStatus(e:Object):void{

     trace(e.info.code);

     if(e.info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")

     {

          createNetstream();

     }

}

var dsi:DynamicStreamItem = new DynamicStreamItem();

      dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR300_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 300 );

     dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR600_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 600 );

     dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR1000_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 1000 );

     dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR1500_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 1500 );

     dsi.startRate = 300;

function playVideo():void{

     _ds.startPlay( dsi );

}
