[CS5][JSX] How to place a video from an URL

Question

Hey everyone,
I found some great help in this forum in the past, so I hope someone can help me again this time.
I'm using Indesign CS5 on a mac. I write in Javascript.
What i try to do is dynamically placing a video from a URL.
I thought I could do this by adding a rectangle, then in the rectangle place a movie and finally add the URL to it.
This does not work. I'm lost at how to proceed.
Here is the code that i hoped would do the trick (just the relevant lines from a bigger script)
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
frameVideo = myPage.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0, 0, 144, 144]});
onlineVideo = frameVideo.movies.add();
onlineVideo.url= "http://www.meffect.nl/rocvideo/91870.mp4";
When i run this script I don't get any errors, but the video in the URL is not loaded.
Should I use something like
onlineVideo= frameVideo.place(URL("http://www.meffect.nl/rocvideo/91870.mp4"));
This doesn't work either!
I hope this is possible at all... I think it is, since you can do it manually in InDesign too.
Thanks guys,
Michiel

Hey guys,
I just arrived at the office after a good night of sleep, so I thought, let's give it another shot.
For some reason now my code works. It's the exact code I posted yesterday.
I have no clue why it didn't work then, but it works now.
Weird, but I don't mind as long as it keeps working
Thanks anyway!
