[flexcoders] Error: 1000: No bitrate match

[Paul Hastings]

trying to load some FLV as "help" but no matter where i place these
files & no matter what i set the application framerate to, i keep
getting

Error: 1000: No bitrate match
        at mx.controls.videoClasses::VideoPlayer/play()
        at mx.controls::VideoDisplay/play()
        at video/___Button1_click()

watching this in the debugger it's actually stopping on

throw new VideoError(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION);

which makes me think it's simply can't find the FLV files. any ideas?

thanks.
