Thought I’d share this. I’m using the CopyPixels ActionScript method to blit images to the screen for animation. In this sample, notice how the CopyPixels method doesn’t update the sprite when the app is pushed into the background. This is unlike some of the device demos where we see movie footage continuing to run when the movie player is pushed into the background.  Perhaps the video or media API uses some other method to modify image pixels, or maybe the beta version of the PlayBook simulator doesn’t have that snazzy ability like we’ve seen in the videos of others (Jim B) playing with the PlayBook.
