'VideoPlayer.play()' throws 'VideoError: 1008' if used without 'FLVPlayback'

[FONT=Verdana]Greetings.
For some reason calling [FONT=“Courier New”]play()[/FONT] on a [FONT=“Courier New”]VideoPlayer[/FONT], [COLOR=“Red”]unless[/COLOR] first an [FONT=“Courier New”]FLVPlayback[/FONT] is declared and instantiated, yields the following error.[/FONT]

[FONT=“Courier New”]VideoError: 1008: VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass has not been set or its value is invalid: fl.video.NCManager

package FLVPE
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import fl.video.VideoPlayer;
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    public class Main extends Sprite
    {
        private var videoPlayer:VideoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(320, 240);
        private var flvp:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
		//Commenting the above line out throws 1008 VideoError...
        public function Main():void
        {
            if (stage) init();
            else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
        };
        private function init(e:Event = null):void
        {            
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
            addChild(videoPlayer);
            videoPlayer.play('video.mp4');
        };
    };
};  

Obviously this has something to do with [FONT=“Courier New”]NCManager[/FONT] but the livedocs example doesn’t seem to rely on it.
