Hi TheOnly,
please give us more details about what the issue is.
It's advisable to create a small test client that gives you
more verbose error messages about what exactly is going wrong -
I've just sent out the same code to Boliz and anonymized it to post
this in public so you can incorporate this into your code if you
haven't already done so. Please also check the devnet on better
code on NC handling - the following is basically a quick hack ;)
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://yourhost/yourapp");
var subscribe_ns;
// when the NetConnection fires a status event, handle it;
// i.e. instantiate the NetStream when the connection
succeeded;
// handle the error if not . That way you make sure that the
netstream is only initialized when a connection has been
// established.
my_nc.onStatus = function(info) {
// put in a TextArea component and call it trace_txt.txt to
print out trace messages in your test client
// later, you may want to put in a more sophisticated
solution with
// functions to handle different success and error events,
// e.g. re-connect attempts.
trace_txt.text += "** NetConnection onStatus" + newline;
for(var p in info) {
trace_txt.text += " " + p + " : " + info[p] + newline;
if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
// when connection is successful,
// create a stream to playback.
createStream(my_nc);
function createStream(my_nc) {
subscribe_ns = new NetStream(my_nc);
// my_video is a Video component on your stage
my_video.attachVideo(subscribe_ns)
subscribe_ns.play("sample_flv_movie");
subscribe_ns.onStatus = function(info) {
trace_txt.text += "** Stream onStatus" + newline;
for (var prop in info) {
trace_txt.text += " " + prop + " : " + info[prop] + newline;
// sample code for buttons
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
// play_status = "stop";
//play_btn.label = "Play Video";
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start") {
// play_status = "play";
// play_btn.label = "Pause";
