Yes, but they started life as MP4s. I found some video wouldn't work 
without recoding.

I just re-encoded the MP4s supplied to me.

All I know is that I'm using the 'standard' video player and playing 
video over background content with the display list hierarchy respected.

Re: [Flashcoders] Video on IOS

2014-03-13 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
StageVideo is the only way I've been able to get the video to play on a iPad2. 
But it plays under everything. It is not part of the display list, its under 
the display list. The other problem is that in authoring the video doesn't play 
on my MAC only after I import it to the iPad.

When I use the normal Video class, my video plays on top of my background 
graphic and in authoring, but doesn't play on the iPad2.

I'm looking for a example of the code approach to get my videos working on top 
of the background.

John, are you using StageVideo ? If positive, then that’s the reason why Flash 
content will _always_ appear on top of the Stage.

I have made a few IOS projects using video and not really found much of 
an issue, though encoding of the video has been critical (to avoid 
skipping frames)- originally targeting iPad 1's.


The video does play over background graphics and it seems to play flvs.

Rendering options are set to auto, resolution standard.

Unfortunately I don't remember the encoding settings that I used to 
generate the flvs.


Not sure if that is helpful or not.

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.
