attachMovie and attachVideo question

The attachMovie appears to using the Flash 8 Professional FLVPlayback component found in the components panel. The developer choose not to place it on stage and rather create it dynamically.

If you want to simply connect to a FMS (Flash Media Server) and play a vide here is the skeleton code:

nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(info){
trace("nc.onStatus - info.code: " + info.code);

if (this.isConnected){
trace("nc.onStatus - this.isConnected");
stream = new NetStream(nc);
stream.setBufferTime(2);


vid_video.attachVideo(stream); // vid_video is a Video symbol instance on stage
stream.play("FLVName", 0); // No .flv. Ex:myVideo.flv is myVideo
}

}
nc.connect("rtmp://your.rtmphost.com/_definst_");



If you want to play a flv file (progressive download) here is the skeleton code:
var vid_video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
stream.setBufferTime(2);
vid_video.attachVideo(stream);
stream.play("myVideo.flv");
