playing a flv

hiya.

I'm very new to the world of actionscipt and find most tutorials that
assume a flash-ide to be very unhelpful. Any direction towards
tutorials or sample code that address an swfmill/MTASC setup would be
appreciated.

Specifically, I found some code in the archives from a while ago <a
href="http://lists.motion-twin.com/pipermail/mtasc/2005-November/028630.html">(2005)</a>
that is supposed to play a .flv file.

cutting and pasting this code into Application.as and app.xml, then
compiling with thic code:

> mtasc -swf build/classes.swf -header 1:1:24 Application.as
> swfmill simple app.xml build/app.swf

I get the error that type error unknown variable Debugger. The code
doesn't seem irrational to me, but i dont understand it enough to
modify it. I embeded app.swf in an html anyways and got a blank
screen. I expect this code to just play the .flv (i converted an mpeg
to flv with ffmpeg) when i view the html.

any help with this or re-direction to some other tutorial (one closer
to my level) would be beneficial to me, for sure.

thanks

below is the code I used:

Application.as
-----------------------------

dynamic class Application extends MovieClip
{

public static var timer:Number;

private var video:Video;
private var nc:NetConnection;
private var ns:NetStream;

function Application(target)
{

target.__proto__ = this.__proto__;
target.__constructor__ = Application;

this = target;
// Attach the library symbol embedded by swfmill
this.attachMovie("VideoDisplay", "VideoDisplay", 15);
// Create a NetConnection object
nc = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
this["VideoDisplay"]["vid"].attachVideo(ns);
// Begin playing the FLV file
ns.play("/home/elbiot/flash/Project1/kimme3.flv");

}

static function main()
{
Debugger.startDebugger();
// Algo de tiempo para el pobre debugger.
Application.timer = setInterval( function ()
{
clearInterval(Application.timer);
Application.comenzar();
}
, 2000);
}

static function comenzar()
{
var App:Application = new Application(_root);
}
}

app.xml
----------------------------------

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <movie width="800" height="600" framerate="25" version="8">
> <background color="#FFFFFF" />
> <frame>
> <library>
> <clip id="VideoDisplay">
> <frame>
> <video id="vid" width="240" height="180" smoothing="3" />
> <place id="vid" name="vid" />
> </frame>
> </clip>

Hi

the debbuger class points towards an external debugger, such as
flashinspector, etc...
for your tests, you can either install one of them or comment the Debugger
related lines
