macromedia flash flashcom: guys:

this is a highly simplified version of the helloVid app from the oreilly book:

in the fla:
stop();

myID = "";
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.setID = function(id){
myID = id;
ns = new NetStream(nc);
}
nc.connect("rtmp:/helloVideo", userNameInput.text);


with it, i get a netstream

with this below though, i don't. which is crazy , cos it's a copy and paste
job. why?:

in the fla:
stop();

import App;

var a = new App();


and as a seperate class file:
class App {

var myID = "";
var nc;

public function App ()
{
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.setID = function(id){
myID = id;
var ns = new NetStream(nc);
}
nc.connect("rtmp:/helloVideo", 'myName');
}
}

maybe i'm just a fool. this is no fun at all though. if i can't get even the
simplest thing like this to work then why even try to go on further? this is
making me feel like sh#t. :(

this is no place to get emotional you all probably think. i would normally too
i expect. but ffs, how much more basic can it get before it works?
