Why cant i connect? When i run the application i receive NetConnection.failed in the output. Can you please take a carefull look at my code. I believe my string url is correct. I am unsure is my FMS is down or if theres a code error.

Thank You

import flash.net.NetConnection;

var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var cam:Camera;
var microphone:Microphone;
var vid:Video;
var connectButton:Button;

//Connecting to Flash Media Server
nc = new NetConnection();

nc.connect("rtmfp:/fms/streamExample");

nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netHandler);

function netHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
    switch (event.info.code)
    {
        case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
        {
            connectButton.label = "Disconnect";
            connectButton.enabled = true;
            sendButton.enabled = true;
            onConnect();
            break;

ns.attachCamera();


//Setting the video

cam.setMode(400, 300, 20);
cam.setQuality(0, 85);
cam.setKeyFrameInterval(18);
vid.attachCamera();

//Setting the audio
microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
microphone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
microphone.framesPerPacket = 1;
microphone.setSilenceLevel(0, 200);
microphone.gain = 50;
NetStream.attachAudio(microphone);

If your Flash Media Server is on the same machine than the one your testing your application from, you should change the URL of server with rtmfp://localhost/streamExample If your server is on another machine, then you just have to replace localhost with the IP address of the machine running the server.

You should also add the event listener on your NetConnection before you perform the connect() call.

To help you known the reason of the failure, you might want to trace the description of your event as well.

Here is a sample with all these indications:

nc = new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netHandler);
nc.connect("rtmfp:/localhost/streamExample");

function netHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
    switch (event.info.code)
    {
        case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
        {
            connectButton.label = "Disconnect";
            connectButton.enabled = true;
            sendButton.enabled = true;
            onConnect();
            break;
        }
        case "NetConnection.Connect.Closed":
        {
            connectButton.label = "Connect";
            connectButton.enabled = true;
            sendButton.enabled = false;
            nc.close();
            break;
        }
        case "NetConnection.Connect.Failed":
        {
            trace("Sorry your connection failed");
            trace("Reason is: " + event.info.description);
            break;
        }
        case "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected":
        {
            trace("Oops the connection has been rejected");
            break;
        }
    }
}
