Projecting iPad Video

I'm interested in projecting iPad video out of my iOS app using Apple's Dock Connector-to-VGA adapter.

From reading the customer reviews on the adapter, it appears that the iPad2 will mirror whatever's on the screen just fine, but that users of the original iPads can only project video out of apps where the app developer has enabled external video output.

Can anyone tell me how to do this (enable external video output) in AS3?

Thanks!

You could try using StageWebView as the way to show H.264 video. That then would hopefully hook in with the system’s ability to play video through the dock connector.

Thanks Colin, you're always such a reliable resource.

Could you elaborate on StageWebView a bit?

Here’s timeline code that would play back an MP4 named “test.mp4":

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

import flash.media.StageWebView;

import flash.filesystem.File;

var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

webView.stage = this.stage;

webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);

var fPath:String = new File(new File("app:test.mp4").nativePath).url;

webView.loadURL( fPath );
