Is it possible to flip stage video playback horizontally on iOS?

Question

I'm using stage video in an app to play back some video and it would be useful if I could offer users the option to flip the video along the horizontal axis.

i.e. the equivalent of scaleX = -1 on a normal display object.

The reason I want to do this is that the video is of people and flipping the video would flip their handedness (so right handers become left handers).

Is this possible? It is quite easy to do with 'normal' video (i.e. scaleX = -1) but on iPad I am using stageVideo (primarily to try to maximse performance which I belive stageVideo does) and as it isn't a real display object it doesn't have the necessary scaleX property.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I'm using Flash CS6 and stageWebVideo (not stageVIdeo). If you're asking if the video window can be changed when the device orientation is changed, this is how I did it:

// Landscape orientation

videoFile = MovieClip(root).imagesPath + "31_resources.pdf";

stageWebView = new StageWebView();

stageWebView.stage = stage;

if (stageOrientation == "horiz") {

stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(((resolutionY-940)/2), 210, 940, 430);

}

// Then... when changed to Portrait orientation...

if (stageWebView != null) {

stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 285, 640, (resolutionY - 285));

}

In other words, I change the stageWebView.viewPort rectangle accordingly when device orientation changes. Not sure if this helps you.
