Question

Depth sorting OSMF video and Android

Hi,

I've built a nice video app for Android, but...

If I start a video, switch out to browser, then return to my app then AIR / Flex depth sorting gets broken and the video that was behind my controls moves in front of it. This seems irrevocable so that evrn taking the video player off the stage and putting it back doesn't restore things.

Has anybody else come across this or have any workarounds?

Cheers,

G

Adobe, I just want to remind that this issue is still NOT FIXED in Adobe AIR SDK 3.5.0.1060 / Adobe AIR SDK 3.6.0.5920.

Even adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the application.xml has no effect.

I've encountered that using the old "Video" - Object won't make a change.

Testet on Google Nexus 10 - Android 4.2.1-r1 (Stock; no root or any other modifications)

and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - Android 4.0.4 (Stock; no root or any other modifications)

Sorry, but it seems like Adobe don't want to fix essential thinks like this stageVideo-Bug or these kind of things:

OK, workaround city...

I'm placing controls outside video area for now.

Right, even that's not working.


This isn't great; video and controls work until deactivated by going out to browser, then video layer appears in front of controls and buttons are inaccessible on return.

Would welcome any workarounds.

Anybody? Please?

Right, this is getting silly now.

Here's what happens:

1. In debug mode:

- Launch app, all items are clickable and responsive

- Deactivate as I go out to browser, pauses media, works as expected

- Activate as I return to browser, plays media, all items are clickable and reponsive

2. In release mode with AIR 3.1:

- Launch app, all items are clickable and responsive

- Deactivate as I go out to browser, pauses media, works as expected

- Activate as I return to browser, plays media, no items are clickable

3. In release mode with AIR 3.4, AIR 3.5:

- Launch app, all items are clickable and responsive

- Deactivate as I go out to browser, pauses media, works as expected

- Activate as I return to browser, plays media, only the video itself is clickable, no other events are reported
