title: Flash RTMP streaming with no filename - How to connect?
body: <p>Hello good people of SO.  I am building a flash media player for an live audio stream.  The server is set up to stream from a url that looks like so: </p>
  
  <pre><code>rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/ourfiledirectory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the instructions i have found say to first set the directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nc.connect("rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/ourfiledirectory");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then later play it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nc.play(mp3:thefilename)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this works when we have discrete filenames on the server (thefilename), but the live stream is not a file - <code>rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/shoutcast</code>.  How in the heck do I get .play to play it?  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
