Question

Simply playing video in iOS (without stuttering)

I'm trying to create a very simple app. It's made up mostly of videos. When you click it plays and then requires you to click somewhere on the screen to play the next video - for this I've been using videos embedded in the timeline and simple buttons (Play/gotoAndPlay) to advance between videos. This has worked seemlessly on the computer but as soon as it's put into iOS the FLV videos only play at about 10fps (rather than 24) and without sound for some reason.

(I also tried loading an external video through the playback component and then including that in the files bundled in the app but I got nothing but a white screen in iOS.)

The videos are On2 VP6 so they can be embedded in the timeline but after extensive googling people reccomended using h.264 instead and StageVideo or StageWebView (not sure of the difference). I've searched the forums a bit and StageWebView seems to require putting code in somewhere, is there some simple code I can add in with my videos for StageVideo so that I can play h.264s embedded?

So I think I'm slowly getting somewhere with StageVideo. I have created a seperate actionscript file with the example code found here http://www.01am.co.uk/blog/stagevideo-ios-air and set this as the class in flash professional.

Is this all that needs to be done to get this to work?

I've added that whole thing to an actionscript file if I then just imported a video with flash professional (to play with playback component) would flash then switch to the StageVideo from the script or is there other stuff I need to do to get it to work.

Also just using that script I get "Type was not found or was not compile-time constant: MouseEvent." When publishing which I didn't get before, why would the video affect that at all?
