video class breaking

[bcbirk100]

ok, so I created a video player in as3, and it works fine if i'm using null as my rtmp_host. but if i try to connect to my streaming server, it breaks, and acts as if it didn't load the class.
here's my code

public function VClass(target:MovieClip, rtmp_host:String, flv_name:String) {
//trace("VClass instantiated");
_video = new Video(550, 412);
_playbackTime = new TextField();

_playbackTime.y = 419;
_playbackTime.x = 425;
newFormat.font = "Verdana";
_playbackTime.embedFonts;
_playbackTime.text = "Loading";
_playbackTime.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
_playbackTime.setTextFormat(newFormat);

_playbackTime.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

errorTxt = new TextField();
errorTxt.textColor = 0x00FF00;
errorTxt.x = 425;
errorTxt.y = 405;
errorTxt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
errorTxt.text = "connecting...";
_duration = 0;
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SEC URITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STA TUS, netStatusHandler);
errorTxt.text = rtmp_host;
connection.connect(rtmp_host);
_stream = new NetStream(connection);
_stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , netStatusHandler);
_stream.play(flv_name);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onMetaData = onMetaData;
_stream.client = client;
_video.attachNetStream(_stream);
_video.smoothing = true;
target.addChild(_video);
target.addChild(_playbackTime);
target.addChild(errorTxt);
target.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
_scrubber = new VideoScrubber(target, _stream);


}// end of function


if i use it like this:
var vClass:VClass = new VClass(this, null, "test.flv");

it works fine, however when i change null and the flv name it breaks and it won't even show my textfields to show my error messages.

var vClass:VClass = new VClass(this, "rtmp://[myserver]/test", "test");

anybody see any errors in my script, or know why it would work with null but not with the rtmp server?
Thanks for the help.

Try to add this

import flash.net.ObjectEncoding;

//this setting is for playing FMS 2 Sreaming in AS3 application
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

Well that's good to know. I thought it might have something to do with using as3 with fms2. However this hasn't solved my problem. I tried setting the defaultObject encoding and I tried setting it for the netconnection instance I created. neither has worked. I tried looking into the system security to see if that might be causing the problem and didn't read anything that said it would, but to be safe I changed the system security to always in my html. Any other thoughts as to why it's not working? thanks again for your help.

I figured out that I'm connecting to the server fine, but it's not showing that it's trying to stream a file.. when i check the server I don't see my stream, which I should if it was working correctly. And I'm not getting any errors thrown either. But i know the code works with progressive, so it should work with streaming.

Were there any solutions to your problem? I am experiencing similar issues though in AS2.0.
