The VideoDisplay control has a volume property that you can set to a value between 0 and 1 which sets the volume.

I can probably post an example in a couple minutes: “Setting the volume on a VideoDisplay control in Flex”.

Excellent tip! I totally forgot about the use namespace solution. It really could apply to any of the solutions above, but since pption 1 is probably the most easily copy-paste-able:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/01/15/clearing-the-video-on-a-flex-videodisplay-control/ –>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.core.mx_internal;

            use namespace mx_internal;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:VideoDisplay id="videoDisplay"
            source="http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/cuepoints.flv" />

    <mx:Button label="pause"
            click="videoDisplay.pause();" />
    <mx:Button label="clear"
            click="videoDisplay.videoPlayer.clear();" />

</mx:Application>

use namespace mx_internal;

or better yet, when do I have to use that statement.

thanks for this tutorial btw. i was trying to clear a videodisplay yesterday.
