Oops sorry for the big disclaimer in the previous post - company  
rules etc and forgot to clear the signature before hitting send :)

If it becomes of any use to anyone I figured out what was going on,  
the external video object didn't have time to load and appear on the  
stage before the script initialised and played the stream, so you got  
to hear sound but alas no video.
We can solve this with the following:

<code>
createEmptyMovieClip("videoObject", _root);
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.onLoadInit = function(targetMC) {
	netConn = new NetConnection();
	netConn.connect(null);
	var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
	targetMC.videoObj.attachVideo(netStream);
	netStream.play("mrandmrssmith_624x336_700.flv");
};
myMCL.loadClip("videoObj.swf", "_root.videoObject");
</code>

DOH!!!
Really stupid I know, o well, done it now!
I intend to make a class of it and will post to this thread  
accordingly encase anyone is interested.

Christmas) newbie flash coder
