FLVPlayback Video Smoothing

Andrew Wason from Motionbox Inc. sent me the following workaround, which allows you to activate video smoothing for FLVPlayback components (in this case the instance FLVPlayer):

MovieClip(FLVPlayer.getVideoPlayer(FLVPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex))._video.smoothing = true;

By converting the component video player’s data type to a MovieClip, you get around the video player’s access control and can directly access its video object. This way you can then change its smoothing parameter.

See it for yourself:

Thanks again to Andrew for sharing this workaround.

This is the solution we are looking for but, we couldnt find a way of converting the component video player’s data type to a MovieClip?

matt: I changed it to
flv.getVideoPlayer(flv.activeVideoPlayerIndex).smoothing = true;

and it WORKS
flv is the FLVPlayback instance name.
