Question

Air version: 3.1.0.4880

Descriptor XML contains:

<renderMode>direct</renderMode>

(in default place, within initialWindow block)

Compiler arguments: -locale en_US -swf-version=13

Video Card: nVidia GTX 560

Tried both in debugger and standalone with captive runtime. Nadda. (also tried installing via AIR which seams to use 3.3, still nothing)

Detection code is:

public function MainClass()
    addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
}

private function onAddedToStage(evt:Event) {
    stage.addEventListener(StageVideoAvailabilityEvent.STAGE_VIDEO_AVAILABILITY, onStageVideoReady);
    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
}

private function onStageVideoReady(evt:StageVideoAvailabilityEvent) :void{
    trace(evt.availability); //<-- outputs "unavailable"
}

Any idea what I’m missing?!
