I am currently trying to use FMS 3 to stream a stored file through the VOD folder. Both of my access files are set to * and my main.asc is just set to allow client connections. My current code uses Netconnection the nc.connect works. I start running into problems with Netstream when I tell it to connect using the Netconnection I always get an error. From what I can tell this is because I am trying to connect to a live stream. I don’t want a live stream I want to use a stored file. How do I go about making this call to FMS 3 in AS3 so that I can retrieve a stored file. Note I now have it working when I call an MP4 file but not when I call an FLV file. The MP4 shows as a stored file on the server but the FLV keeps showing up on the server as a live stream and I want to play it as stored.

    You may want to look into NetStream.play() API in the documentations folder installed with FMS3.

    One specify the type of stream that should get played by NetStream.play() ; using its arguments.
    It has options of
    -only live
    -only stored
    - which ever is available.
