Rendering on top of Adobe AIR

Question

My co-worker posted a question on his blog . He is referring to rendering an MPEG-4 stream in adobe air. He wants to know basically two things.

Are there any technical articles floating around that...

1. Describe how AIR renders.

2. Describes a technique for painting on an AIR surface in a way that doesn't effect AIR performance?

Does SO Community have answers ?

Answer 1

Since an AIR app is a container that loads a swf or html / javascript content, i think the question is: "How flash renders". So i'll suggest to read something about the flv video codecs.
