I'm would like to add my OSMF MediaContainer to a front-end MXML file. What i did was placed a UIComponent tag within the MXML then i reference it in my code-behind via the element's ID. I then add my MediaContiner to the UIComponent via addChild.

It works fine HOWEVER i can only hear the audio but see no video display. I discovered i had to right-click the flash emdeded object and UNCHECK the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" option under the Flash Player Settings. I then closed the window and launched the app again and FINALLY it displays.

Can someone please explain to me why i had to do this? I dont want any limitations for my app.

Note: If i go about displaying my OSMF MediaContainer exclusively as a ActionScript Project (so no Flex MXML front end) and addChild to my Class, the video displays just fine with the Enable Hardware Acceleration option ON / Active. So it seems to be something with MXML / Flex. Is there a workaround?

Thanks
