Video component failing to load FLV

Question

Hi,
I literally copied the example in the Flex documentation
books below into my Flex mxml file and only changed the URL
location of the flv file, which in my case is a local file, and
when i run the application the video doesn't get loaded at all and
I don't get any debugging information.
Has someone run into this problem too?
Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.media.Video;
var videoUrl:String = "
http://localhost//rope.flv";
public function VideoTest()
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
var myVideo:Video = new Video(360, 240);
myVideo.attachNetStream(stream);
stream.play(videoUrl);
addChild(myVideo);

</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
