FLVplayback plays audio only

Question

I have an instance of the FLV playback component on the stage
called 'my_video' and an FLV called 'group.flv' stored in the same
folder as the FLA (this is all running from my desktop). If I link
the component to the FLV through the component inspector panel it
works fine but when I try to do it with Acionscript I get the audio
but no video and if I click the play/pause button I get this error:
1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on
server
I am using this code:
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("group.flv");
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here.
Cheers all

Yes, that's the example I showed just before the end of my
first reply.
Use source for AS3 and contentPath if you're using AS2. It
may help you to
realize that components are nothing more than objects -- just
like movie
clips, text fields, and practically everything else. Objects
are defined by
something called classes, which describe an object's
properties
(characteristics), methods (things it can do), and events
(things it can
react to). Look in the ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0 Language
Reference, as
appropriate, and look up the FLVPlayback class, MovieClip
class, TextField
class, and so on, to see what your options are. In AS2,
component classes
are listed under the Components Language Reference. All of
these are
available under Help (or the F1 key).
