I’ve read two tutorials (including one from Adobe) and followed their instructions directly. I’ve got an FLV video ( **sabre.flv** ) in the same folder as my SWF, an ActionScript-controlled video object called **theVideo** on stage, and the following code:

```auto
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);

ns.play("sabre.flv");

```

When I publish my movie or open the published SWF, I get nothing. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong!

Thanks,  
Steve
