Hi, im tryin to load a video FLV into my swf using the following code -

vid\_btn.onRelease = function () {  
myVideo\_nc = new Netconnection ();  
myVideo\_nc.connect(null);  
newStream\_ns = new NetStream(myVideo\_nc);  
videoHolder.build.flv(newStream\_ns);  
newStream\_ns.play("build.flv);  
};

where Video holder is my embedded video symbol and the button to play it is called vid\_btn … its from a book and i still cant follow it !

thanks
