Has anyone had this before, it's been making me go crazy for the last 3 hours.

video = new Video() on android makes the screen flash black for about 2 seconds. It then reverts back to where it was.

I'm not adding it to the display list, and have not listeners on video. Simply -

protected function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void

{

video = new Video();

}

Replicates the problem each time on my Android device.

Any ideas?

I had a similar issue when displaying the camera locally. For that purpose, there is an alternate way to do things:

weird I've never seen that happen before... What version of AIR are you using and what is your Android device?

not sure much help but... ive seen the initial bootup process on android take a few seconds... try adding a delay of like 5 seconds and see if it still happens. Could possibly be that the black flash is the booting up process not necessarily the video.

I'm building a video conferencing app for iOS and Android and I haven't experienced that problem. I also build a pool of the things I need at the start and re-use them to lower the amount of constructors being called.

thanks for your reply. It's not on startup.. The App is up and running, click a button with just; onMouseClick(e:Event):void { video = new Video(); } will cause the issue!
