Perhaps your code execution is happening in the wrong order. When is createPlayer() getting called vs getStreamname()? The value of getStreamname() must be available at the time you call createPlayer().
You can always alert the value of getStreamname() within createPlayer() as a sanity check. Regards, Aran On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 12:02 PM, nkasei <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there.
