srcStream.publish(my_variable, "live")???

[PoopsMcGee]

I am trying to publish and recieve video streams using a variable.

The following code uses "Bobby" instead of a variable and works great...

**********************
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp:/my_app/room_01");
usrStream = new NetStream(nc);
usrStream.publish("Bobby", "live");
usrStream.attachVideo(Camera.get());
lsrStream = new NetStream(nc);
User_video.attachVideo(lsrStream);
lsrStream.play("Bobby");
**********************

This code replaces Bobby with the variable _root.user and doesn't work...

**********************
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp:/my_app/room_01");
usrStream = new NetStream(nc);
usrStream.publish(_root.user, "live");
usrStream.attachVideo(Camera.get());
lsrStream = new NetStream(nc);
User_video.attachVideo(lsrStream);
lsrStream.play(_root.user);
**********************

I set the variable _root.user before I execute the above script, and I display the variable in a dynamic text box (just for testing) and it displays the correct data... "Bobby"

My assumption is that I am not calling the variable correctly, maybe a + is missing or something.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

!!!...I dont know if u will cry or laugh at the only thing u need to change:

_root.user
//should be
_root.user.text

the trace showed you the name becouse it showed the value of _root.user .But the ns needs the string data from the boxes and to pull that out u just use:

 myDynamicTextBox.text
