macromedia flash flashcom: I've streamed FLV files off FMS before, but always using components. I'm trying
a simple setup with a Video instance, with no luck:

I put my FLV file on FMS in /myApp/streams/_definst_/myVideo.flv

I have a Video object on stage with an instance name of 'vid'

My AS is:
var vid:Video;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
nc.onStatus = function(info){
trace(info.code);
vid.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play('myVideo');
}
nc.connect('rtmp://rtmphost/myApp');

When I publish, I get "NetConnection.Connect.Success" but no video or audio.
What is not correct about this set up?

It's probably because you're creating you netstream before you've made your
netconnection. Try creating the netstream after your netConnection.onStatus
handler gets a netconnection.connect.success message.

I would declare ns outside of onStatus and instantiate inside.

var ns:NetStream;

nc.onStatus(info)
{
if (this.isConnected){

Sorry to jump in here off topice but i am also new to FCS/FMS and just doing
some search and i see jayCharles popup alot :)

Love your sig m8

I know the feeling...
I have had to apply the same sig on one of my moderated flash dev forums.

I am sure you will come across a couple of my post's over the comming months.
I hope your as helpful :)

Thanks, got it working now. Now I'm facing a strange behavior... while the FLV
loads and streams, it seems that if I setBufferTime(5) it plays in fast motion
for the first split second. Does that makes any sense? Is this a known behavior
I need to work around? If I leave the bufferTime at default, which is
apparently 1 tenth of a second, it has no fast forward behavior, but I get a
lot of interupted skipping in the beginning.
