I'm not certain how things stand with Apache incubating Flex and Adobe developing AIR.
I'm wondering if this is something on the radar as far as the SDK development team goes, and if so, where it might stand, what we might expect. The below is specifically regarding iOS, but the non-existing API methods of course Specifically, the SDK lacks any way to - CameraRoll.browseForVideo() similar to CameraRoll.browseForImage() - Using the CameraUI to take a video creates a file in the system tmp that is not immediately available w/o first using FileIO to move it elsewhere. - Directly/simply accessing local video on the filesystem without involving a far more complex server/streaming model that is simply unnecessary (so far as I understand things) - Harvest frame BitmapData directly for display of thumbnails I've, personally had no luck with using Video or StageVideo to simply display a video file on the local file system that was -created/captured- using the delegated system level functionality. More directly stated... Native Video format doesn't seem to be playable on the device that created it (though this may just be my shortcomings as a developer). So... I can create videos using the delegated system camera util, but not play them. I can create videos outside of my software using the system camera which are then stored in the system CameraRoll, but I can in no ways use the existing native functionality to browse and select those videos in the way I can images. Is any of this being addressed? ANEs seem to be my only solution, but I've not found what I need so far and I've absolutely no time to dedicate to learning a new technology.
