Oh sorry didnt realise you were using VideoDisplay, sorry never use or
used that component..

Actually, I thought about that but found that the VideoDisplay didn't
have that as a method so I found an example that used:
import mx.core.mx_internal;
In the program I wrote...
pubVideo.mx_internal::videoPlayer.clear();
pubVideo.attachCamera(cam);
But that didn't have any effect on the VideoDisplay display. Don't
know if I did that right but nothing yelled at me. ;-)
