Hey guys,

I'm trying to play some transparent FLV files inside my app. My issue is, It's working as expected in ADL, but not on the device? (I'm using Air 3.3, iOS 5, iPhone 4s).

Any helps?

Cheers!

Nobody have any clue on this? Is it even possible to run transparent video in iOS?

I've done it using VP6 and a custom video player, but never tested the app with AIR 3.3.

For anyone with a question about Flash or ActionScript, I'd recommend http://stackoverflow.com/ because you're more likely to get an answer.

Some of the other forums are worth trying, but I think they are more general Flash, and not mobile specific. Whether you get an answer here may depend on the exact question. If the question only has a little bit of detail answers may not come so quickly.

In this case I had a theory about the question, but feel sure that I'm wrong, so I didn't post. But I'll say it anyway…

In some video cases you have to use Netstream and not FLVPlayBack to get what you want. Playing H.264 may be such a case. In other cases you can use the FLVPlayBack component to play FLV files, possibly even with transparency.

What you will most likely not get anyway with is using a controller skin and FLVPlayback, on iOS. I believe those use external ActionScript, and that isn't allowed.

So, with only the information that it works in Test Movie and not on a device, my guess is that you're using a custom controller skin.

If that's not the case, do you get video that is not transparent, no video at all, or video but no sound?

Whatever the case, do try just Netstream, that has the best chances of working.
