issue with camera on thinkpad

Hi All,

Has anybody experienced problems with displaying Webcam content in AIR 
on a ThinkPad2 (Windows 8)?

Everything seems to work properly (Camera.isSupported=true, Camera.names 
contains 2 entries, no RTEs), except that Video component doesnt display 
anything.

App works fine on other devices (win7 and win8).

I realise this isnt a Flex problem, but i'm hoping that amongst the vast 
knowledge of this community lies the snippet i need.

Thanks Alex. I'll investigate that option.

I just helped an internal person with a Video component that wouldn't
display.  They worked around it by hosting the flash.media.Video as a
child of SystemManager.  For some reason, something in their display list
hierarchy was blocking video.  Could be scaling, filters, we never found
out.  So try that workaround to see if it also makes a difference for you.
