The simplest example, I cant get it to work in flex.

Hi,

Im just starting out and Im feeling really dumb because I’m having trouble getting really simple examples to work.

Im trying to make a flex version of the simple video stream that opens when wowza starts. Im using the code from page 46 of the user guide.

There are lots of examples, and they look great, but they are all .fla files which I cant open in flash builder.

Here is my mxml file that Im using at the moment, which is the best I have been able to do, I am getting sound out of this but video is black.

Any help would be really appreciated, I think I just need something really simple that I can play around with to get started.

				nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, ncOnStatus);

				myCam = Camera.getCamera();
				camVideoDisplay.attachCamera(myCam);

				{

					ns.bufferTime = 3;
					
					//wowzaVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
					//wowzaVideoDisplay.addChild(wowzaVideo);
					
					ns.play("mp4:sample.mp4")
						
					wowzaVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
					wowzaVideoDisplay.addChild(wowzaVideo);
				}

You can’t add a video object as a child of a VideoDisplay in flex. You can add the video object to a UIComponent, or you can attach the netstream to the VideoDisplay’s mx_internal::videoPlayer. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42333/how-to-display-a-live-streaming-video-using-videodisplay-in-flex for details.

You can use this for reference:

You need direct link for each example. These are all of them:

Thankyou both!

thats all I was really after I can get it to work now.

I tried to navigate to the root directory of flex examples for http://wowza.com/downloads/examples/flex/SimpleVideoStreaming.zip at http://wowza.com/downloads/examples/flex/ and I get a 404 type error. Is there a new link for them?

Thankyou both!
