FLVplayback to load FLV

[steve1312]

Using Flash 8 and the FLVplayback component to play an external .FLV
-
code on timeline:

import mx.video.*;
flv1.contentPath = "media/C4Q1_F8.flv";

-
Does this only work online ? - How can I create a relative path to my FLV if the flash movie is playing from a local drive (I can enter an ABSOLUTE path, and it works but when the swf and FLV are moved it doesn't connect ??

Thanks.

it works for me. Must be some other thing you are overseing. Of course you are talking about the SWF being in "folder" and the media being in "folder/media" right?

I don't need nor use the "import mx.video.*" statement.

I do have a little problem, although, that might be related. It seems that once the FLVplayback component tries to play an unexistant path or mediafile, it will lock in a "connectionError" unresponsive mode. This didn't happen with the old MediaPlayback component, and I haven't found a method to 'reset' the flvplayer instance.

In connectionError mode, it should not respond to play() or stop(), but I dont know why it doesnt respond to close() or load() or contentPath = n.

Just to discard, you could add a

trace (flvl.state);

before and after the flvl.contentPath line.
