A bit more info - you need an instance of the intrinsic Flash "Video" class but the only way to get a working instance is to drag it onto the stage in the Flash IDE. You can use it in Flex according to Dirk:
From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 12:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Using the Video class in Flex Hi Hans, � you have two possibilities: either you take the MediaDisplay component that ship with Flex or you go inside the Flash IDE and create a new component for Flex (no need to use the Loader component). Actually, that's the way I did it and it worked fine for my needs. All you have to do is to create a new MovieClip symbol in Flash, add the needed functionality to it and export it as a SWC file. Then you add this�SWC file to your Flex user_classes directory and use the component as any other (MXML) component. � Basically, in Flash I�placed a new video symbol on the stage and assigned it an instance name of "vid". Then I wrote an ActionScript class that acts as a wrapper around the video symbol (e.g. attaching�a Camera object or a NetStream object to the video). These methods�and properties are called from the MXML files finally. � Dirk. --Apple-Mail-210-677480455 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=ISO-8859-1 A bit more info - you need an instance of the intrinsic Flash "Video" class but the only way to get a working instance is to drag it onto the stage in the Flash IDE.
