I see no place where you set a height or width of the video child of your main application. That may be an issue.

You have an MX Button tag inside the script tag. I suspect this will cause a compilation error. So it is possible that you're viewing an "old" Version of your code. Fix the errors and recompile and relaunch.

video.height = someheight and video.width = somewidth. You can also use the setACtualSize method. Ideally you should be sizing your child in updateDisplayList(). Setting the height and width has nothing to do w/ the button, so i'm not sure what you're asking me there. – JeffryHouser Dec 24 '10 at 22:18
