Try calling myVidDisplay.load() in the 'ready' event handler instead of the 'creationComplete' event handler.

I have autoPlay disabled, you need to hit a play button to initiate the myVidDisplay.play() call... Unfortunately, the first frame of the video refuses to load and I am left with a blank screen. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian Dunphy
