Air+Android+MP4 Video playback issue(s)

Having two issues with playing H.264/MP4 video back on Android using net stream & the video object.

First is that when the app starts, video is not in "front"; in order to see the video, you go to another app, then return to the Air/video app and it will be visible.

Second is a color shift issue when switching between two video objects on the stage at the same time, which is a technique used to get seamless looping video playback. The 2nd video has a color shift in the blacks, even though it is the same file/source.

What is the best way to show you what's happening, and get it fixed? Thanks!

Details:

Air 32.0.0.89 SDK

Android 8.1.0

here is a link to what the looping video is doing on android (using 2 video objects and swapping depths to get a seamless loop):

Happy to share code if it helps solve the problem, but since it's the same video file playing back I think its AIR itself.

GAH! Thank you; this solves one of my problems.

Let's get Adobe to put this right in the Animate build prefs (defaulted to true!) so this doesn't plague others.
