FLVPlayback Component 1

[ThomasJSmart]

Hi

I need something very simple that in AS2 was very simple to make but with AS3 I'm not sure how to do.

Basically on the stage I have put the FLVPlayback component. I have selected a skin and put in the url to a video and uploaded it with the skin file. This works as intended.

However... I need to pass the video file to be played dynamically... In the past, with as2, I always loaded flash something like this: flash.swf?video=path/somefile.flv
and then in flash did something like player.source = _root.video. Worked great in AS2, not so much in AS3

so basically I need help making an AS3 version of my above code, Please

Thomas

yup, the last one did the trick

var vfile:String = String(stage.loaderInfo.parameters.vfile);
player.source = vfile;
