Kenny, very cool. I did something like this a few months ago, but haven’t gotten a chance to get back to it and make it quite what I wanted it to be. I also did another experiment that uses BitmapData and video so that you can click and drag sections of a video to different areas and it continues to play.

the wall:

the movable sections (click and drag around the video):

(oh, and just FYI, they are both F8)

Hi Kenny, I’m strongly trying to display a Video with a mxml in Flex 2.0; I created a class in AS3 that works exactly like yours but even though FCS is workinf fine I can’t see the video..why? How do I instantiate the class? As an mxml tag? Do you have any suggestion? Can you help me?

kenny, nice to see you posting again — this demo is great. When you get a chance you should put up the two panel view where you can see the video and the mosaic.

As always, great work!

Ian,
Nice observation. The demo you see is actually v8, as I wanted to let as many people see it as possible. The source is 8.5.

I know you mentioned this was built in Flex Builder 2, but I’m a little confused as it’s running perfectly fine in my Flash 8.0 player

Hey Ken,
True that there is no event framework for onMetaData, but the old method still holds it’s value.

NStream["onMetaData"]

It may not be proper, but it still works for the time being.
