FLV Player with scrolling media list
I downloaded this tutorial but I can't get it to work.
Here's what it looks like so far:

I'm pretty sure I followed the directions to the tee. It is supposed to load a media list from an external xml file, autoPlay the first item in the list and play the rest sequentially. For some reason it's only loading the first video and not automatically. I'm thinking it's either an actionscript issue or a xml issue. I'm posting both in hopes that one of the geniuses here will have some insight on this.
Actionscript:
