I have a problem with progressive video, both using the flvplayer and a standard netstream class where the image is tearing on screen.

Does anyone know of any rendering techniques which will fix this, such as double buffering, copypixels, new bitmapdataways, or ways of forcing the client to use hardware rendering rather than software?

Thanks in advance,

Julian
