Re: [Flashcoders] Video on IOS
I hear crickets. :) Can anyone suggest a link or site to help me with playing video on a iPad from inside of a Flash AIR app? StageDirectVideo works great, but resides under the display list. I need video on top of a background graphic. Everything I've tried does not play the video. Thanks, John R.

RE: [Flashcoders] Video on IOS
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. :: Richard Hassen:: Graphic and Interactive Designer:: rickhas...@hotmail.com:: cell 415.450.1199 Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Video on IOS From: jr.swee...@comcast.net Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 20:01:52 -0500 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com I hear crickets. :) Can anyone suggest a link or site to help me with playing video on a iPad from inside of a Flash AIR app?

Re: [Flashcoders] Video on IOS
Ironically, that is what I tried about an hour ago. No other video approach was working, so I cut a hole in the background graphic and made it a .png. Then I saw the video. Though that would be a work around. Does anyone else have an suggestion. Is that the ONLY this the only way to play video now on the iPad in a Flash app? It seems a bit absurd… Thanks, John R.
