Hi,

I am trying to set the contentPath for my FLVplayback component at runtime, based upon data in an XML file. The component plays when I set the contentPath in the component inspector, but when I leave it blank and try to set the path using AS, then it doesn’t load. I am using a relative path for the FLV, as it won’t be web based - it will be bundled on a CD.

Any suggestions? Is this a known issue?

thanks  
Marcus.
