Using VLC ActiveX Control

I have been trying to use the VLC ActiveX control with this page on the VideoLan wiki to help try and explain how the control works but I have come a bit stuck.

Basically what I am trying to do is to set the MRL of an object (my VLC player) and then play it. I can get it to play if I enter the MRL in the design stage but I want it do set latter. The code I have is:

Code:

---

AxVLCPlugin1.MRL = fileName
AxVLCPlugin1.play()

---

I appear to have set the MRL correctly but the clip will not play. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.
