Hello,

I’ve being tearing my hair out all day trying to get an FLV to play on an Android device. I’ve tried a few solutions; NetStream makes the App quite after a few seconds, whereas the below loads but doesn’t display the video.

```auto
            var f:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("vid.flv"); // var fileLoc:String = File.userDirectory.nativePath+ "/DCIM/vid.flv";
            //var f:File = new File(fileLoc);
            var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
            flvPlayer.scaleMode = VideoScaleMode.EXACT_FIT
            flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
            flvPlayer.scaleMode = VideoScaleMode.EXACT_FIT
            flvPlayer.registrationWidth = 800;
            flvPlayer.registrationHeight = 450
            flvPlayer.width = 800;
            flvPlayer.height = 450
            flvPlayer.source = f.url//"vid.flv"
            flvPlayer.play();
            addChild(flvPlayer);

```

Please can someone help me out.

Thanks
