Yup, video plays behind the display list only, under the stage, because that is 
where the gpu can process it rather than the cpu. So, I think the workaround is 
to have the "background" graphic as a frame, which is in actuality above the 
video with a transparent center, but at least preserves the appearance of 
background graphic consistent with the style of your app.
Take what I say here with a grain of salt as I've only really dealt with video 
in an AIR app in the real world for android, so perhaps someone else can weigh 
in with more hands on knowledge and iOS experience. I read up on it a while 
back for an iOS AIR app that ended up not including the video component.
