its driving me mad!

I have a class which loads the video, and in that class if I say this:

**\_netStream.play(“videos/01.flv”);**

then it works fine, but if i say this:

**\_netStream.play(\_urlArr[0]);**

then it doesnt work… video is loaded, its there, i can trace it, but there is no picture, and no metadata received (i can see from the trace as well).

urlArr (which is array) is defined globally ofcourse, then i populate it with url before trying to play.

and one more thing: if i define \_urlArr globally like so:  
private var \_urlArr:Array = [“videos/01.flv”];

then it works again.

wtf???
