NetStream.play + video.attachNetStream won't show any video

Question

I am new to Flash programming. All I wanted to do is stream my local webcam to my red5 server and receive the data in another video.

Therefore I wrote the following code:

    NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
    client_nc = new NetConnection();

    client_nc.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

    client_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
    client_nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/myApp/");

    function netStatusHandler(e:NetStatusEvent):void
    {
        var code:String = e.info.code;
            //log.info("code = " + code);
        if (code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")
        {
            cam_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);

            cam_ns.attachCamera(camera);
            cam_ns.attachAudio(mic);

            cam_ns.publish("user_2", "live");
            in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);

            in_ns2.play("user_2");

            video2 = new Video(640, 480);
            video2.attachNetStream(in_ns2);
            //in_ns2.play("rtmp://localhost/myApp/user_2");
            //in_ns2.play("user_2");
            video2.x = 200;
            video2.y = 10;
            video2.width = 100; 
            video2.height = 100;
            addChild(video2);

        }
        else
        {
            trace(code);
        }
    }

I use 2 NetStreams on 1 NetConnections and then attach a cam+mic on the first. After that I play this NetStream and try to attach this playback on the 2nd Netstream and play it in a new Video. However, this doesnt work.

I use flashdevelop for as3 and eclipse for the red5 server. Can anyone help me?

Try to create one more Netconnection and use that connection for video play. you have to add that video object to VideoDisplay as a child.. — arulraj.net, Sep 20 '12 at 09:29

for me it worked like this:

    private function viewStream():void {            
        var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
        stream.client = new NetStreamClient();
        stream.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
        stream.play( streamName.text);          
        var video:Video = new Video();
        video.attachNetStream(stream);
        uic.addChild(video);    
    }               

    private function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void {
        trace(event.text);
    }

where nc is my single global NetConnection and streamName is an

<mx:TextInput id="streamName" text="test"/>

and uic is an UIComponent

<mx:UIComponent id="uic" width="300" height="250"/>

i called viewStream method from a button

<mx:Button label="view Stream" click="viewStream()"/>

I had problems with VideoDisplay, too. So I did it with UIComponent and it works well. Maybe you got problems because you try to ns.play directly after publish. I think you should try it with a button and wait a second after starting the publish.
