Styles

Styles are either common or associated with a specific theme. If the style is common, it can be used with any theme. If a style is associated with a specific theme, it can only be used if your application uses that theme.

Common Styles
 Style Description Defined By
  
alignmentBaseline
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Specifies the baseline to which the dominant baseline aligns. For example, if you set dominantBaseline to ASCENT, setting alignmentBaseline to DESCENT aligns the top of the text with the DESCENT baseline, or below the line. The largest element in the line generally determines the baselines.

baselines

Legal values are flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ROMAN, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ASCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.DESCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_TOP, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_CENTER, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_BOTTOM, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.USE_DOMINANT_BASELINE, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of USE_DOMINANT_BASELINE.

VideoPlayer
 InheritedType: String CSS Inheritance: no
The vertical distance in pixels from the top edge of the content area to the control's baseline position.
UIComponent
  
baselineShift
Type: Object CSS Inheritance: yes
Amount to shift the baseline from the dominantBaseline value. Units are in pixels, or a percentage of fontSize (in which case, enter a string value, like 140%). Positive values shift the line up for horizontal text (right for vertical) and negative values shift it down for horizontal (left for vertical).

Legal values are flashx.textLayout.formats.BaselineShift.SUPERSCRIPT, flashx.textLayout.formats.BaselineShift.SUBSCRIPT, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Legal values as a number are from -1000 to 1000.

Legal values as a percent are numbers from -1000 to 1000.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of 0.0.

VideoPlayer
 InheritedType: String CSS Inheritance: no
The vertical distance, in pixels, from the bottom edge of the component to the bottom edge of its parent container's content area.
UIComponent
  
cffHinting
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
The type of CFF hinting used for this text. CFF hinting determines whether the Flash runtime forces strong horizontal stems to fit to a sub pixel grid or not. This property applies only if the renderingMode property is set to RenderingMode.CFF, and the font is embedded (fontLookup property is set to FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF). At small screen sizes, hinting produces a clear, legible text for human readers.

Legal values are flash.text.engine.CFFHinting.NONE, flash.text.engine.CFFHinting.HORIZONTAL_STEM, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of HORIZONTAL_STEM.

VideoPlayer
  
color
Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes
Color of the text. A hexadecimal number that specifies three 8-bit RGB (red, green, blue) values; for example, 0xFF0000 is red and 0x00FF00 is green.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of 0.

VideoPlayer
  
digitCase
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
The type of digit case used for this text. Setting the value to DigitCase.OLD_STYLE approximates lowercase letterforms with varying ascenders and descenders. The figures are proportionally spaced. This style is only available in selected typefaces, most commonly in a supplemental or expert font. The DigitCase.LINING setting has all-cap height and is typically monospaced to line up in charts.

digitCase

Legal values are flash.text.engine.DigitCase.DEFAULT, flash.text.engine.DigitCase.LINING, flash.text.engine.DigitCase.OLD_STYLE, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of DEFAULT.

VideoPlayer
  
digitWidth
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Type of digit width used for this text. This can be DigitWidth.PROPORTIONAL, which looks best for individual numbers, or DigitWidth.TABULAR, which works best for numbers in tables, charts, and vertical rows.

digitWidth

Legal values are flash.text.engine.DigitWidth.DEFAULT, flash.text.engine.DigitWidth.PROPORTIONAL, flash.text.engine.DigitWidth.TABULAR, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of DEFAULT.

VideoPlayer
  
direction
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Specifies the default bidirectional embedding level of the text in the text block. Left-to-right reading order, as in Latin-style scripts, or right-to-left reading order, as in Arabic or Hebrew. This property also affects column direction when it is applied at the container level. Columns can be either left-to-right or right-to-left, just like text. Below are some examples:

direction

Legal values are flashx.textLayout.formats.Direction.LTR, flashx.textLayout.formats.Direction.RTL, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of LTR.

VideoPlayer
  
dominantBaseline
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Specifies which element baseline snaps to the alignmentBaseline to determine the vertical position of the element on the line. A value of TextBaseline.AUTO selects the dominant baseline based on the locale property of the parent paragraph. For Japanese and Chinese, the selected baseline value is TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_CENTER; for all others it is TextBaseline.ROMAN. These baseline choices are determined by the choice of font and the font size.

baselines

Legal values are flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ROMAN, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ASCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.DESCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_TOP, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_CENTER, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_BOTTOM, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

UIComponent
  
fontFamily
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
The name of the font to use, or a comma-separated list of font names. The Flash runtime renders the element with the first available font in the list. For example Arial, Helvetica, _sans causes the player to search for Arial, then Helvetica if Arial is not found, then _sans if neither is found.

Default value is undefined indicating not set.

If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of Arial.

VideoPlayer
  
fontLookup
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Font lookup to use. Specifying FontLookup.DEVICE uses the fonts installed on the system that is running the SWF file. Device fonts result in a smaller movie size, but text is not always rendered the same across different systems and platforms. Specifying FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF uses font outlines embedded in the published SWF file.

justificationRule
Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes
Rule used to justify text in a paragraph. Default value is FormatValue.AUTO, which justifies text based on the paragraph's locale property. For all languages except Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO becomes JustificationRule.SPACE, which adds extra space to the space characters. For Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO becomes JustficationRule.EAST_ASIAN. In part, justification changes the spacing of punctuation. In Roman text the comma and Japanese periods take a full character's width but in East Asian text only half of a character's width. Also, in the East Asian text the spacing between sequential punctuation marks becomes tighter, obeying traditional East Asian typographic conventions. Note, too, in the example below the leading that is applied to the second line of the paragraphs. In the East Asian version, the last two lines push left. In the Roman version, the second and following lines push left.

justificationRule

Property Detail

autoDisplayFirstFrame

property
autoDisplayFirstFrame:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

If autoPlay = false, then autoDisplayFirstFrame controls whether the video is loaded when the source is set. If autoDisplayFirstFrame is set to true, then the first frame of the video is loaded and the video is sized correctly. If autoDisplayFirstFrame is set to false, then no connection to the source is made, the first frame is not shown, and the video's size is not determined until someone tries to play the video.

If autoPlay = true, then this flag is ignored.

The default value is true.



Implementation
    public function get autoDisplayFirstFrame():Boolean
    public function set autoDisplayFirstFrame(value:Boolean):void

autoPlay

property 
autoPlay:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies whether the video starts playing immediately when the source property is set. If true, the video file immediately begins to buffer and play.

Even if autoPlay is set to false, Flex starts loading the video after the initialize() method is called. For Flash Media Server, this means creating the stream and loading the first frame to display. In the case of an HTTP download, Flex starts downloading the stream and shows the first frame.

If playWhenHidden is set to false, then autoPlay also affects what happens when the video comes back on stage and is enabled and visible.

The default value is true.



Implementation
    public function get autoPlay():Boolean
    public function set autoPlay(value:Boolean):void

autoRewind

property 
autoRewind:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies whether the FLV file should rewind to the first frame when play stops, either by calling the stop() method or by reaching the end of the stream.

This property has no effect for live streaming video.

The default value is true.



Implementation
    public function get autoRewind():Boolean
    public function set autoRewind(value:Boolean):void

bytesLoaded

property 
bytesLoaded:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The number of bytes of data that have been downloaded into the application.

The default value is 0.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the mediaPlayerStateChange event.



Implementation
    public function get bytesLoaded():Number

bytesTotal

property 
bytesTotal:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The total size in bytes of the data being downloaded into the application.

The default value is 0.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the mediaPlayerStateChange event.



Implementation
    public function get bytesTotal():Number

currentTime

property 
currentTime:Number  [read-only]

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the mediaPlayerStateChange event.



Implementation
    public function get currentTime():Number

duration

property 
duration:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Duration of the video's playback, in seconds

The default value is 0.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the mediaPlayerStateChange event.



Implementation
    public function get duration():Number

loop

property 
loop:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Indicates whether the media should play again after playback has completed. The loop property takes precedence over the autoRewind property, so if loop is set to true, the autoRewind property is ignored.

The default value is false.



Implementation
    public function get loop():Boolean
    public function set loop(value:Boolean):void

mediaPlayerState

property 
mediaPlayerState:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The current state of the video. See org.osmf.media.MediaPlayerState for available values.

pauseWhenHidden

property 
pauseWhenHidden:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Controls whether the video continues to play when it is "hidden". The video is "hidden" when either visible is set to false on it or one of its ancestors, or when the video is taken off of the display list. If set to true, the video pauses playback until the video is visible again. If set to false the video continues to play when it is hidden.

If the video is disabled (or one of the video's parents are disabled), the video pauses as well, but when it is re-enabled, the video does not play again. This behavior is not controlled through pauseWhenHidden; it is defined in the VideoDisplay component.

The default value is true.



Implementation
    public function get pauseWhenHidden():Boolean
    public function set pauseWhenHidden(value:Boolean):void

playing

property 
playing:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Contains true if the video is playing or is attempting to play.

The video may not be currently playing, as it may be seeking or buffering, but the video is attempting to play.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the mediaPlayerStateChange event.



Implementation
    public function get playing():Boolean

scaleMode

property 
scaleMode:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The scaleMode property describes different ways of sizing the video content. You can set scaleMode to "none", "stretch", "letterbox", or "zoom".

source

property 
source:Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The video source.

For progressive download, the source is just a path or URL pointing to the video file to play.

For streaming (recorded streaming, live streaming, or multi-bitrate streaming), the source property is a DynamicStreamingVideoSource object. If you just want to play a recorded or live streaming video with no multi-bitrate support, you can just pass in a String URL pointing to the video stream. However, if you do this, the streamType is assumed to be "any," and you don't have as much control over the streaming as you would if you used the DynamicStreamingVideoSource object.

Note: Setting the source on a MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent.LOADING or a MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent.READY is not recommended if the source was previously set. This could cause an infinite loop or an RTE. If you must do an operation like that, wait an additional frame to set the source.

The default value is null.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the sourceChanged event.



Implementation
    public function get source():Object
    public function set source(value:Object):void

Constructor Detail

VideoPlayer

()Constructor
public function VideoPlayer()

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructor.

Method Detail

formatTimeValue

()method
protected function formatTimeValue(value:Number):String

Formats a time value, specified in seconds, into a String that gets used for currentTime and the duration.

Parameters

value:Number — Value in seconds of the time to format

Returns
String — Formatted time value

pause

()method 
public function pause():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Pauses playback without moving the playhead. If playback is already is paused or is stopped, this method has no effect.

To start playback again, call the play() method.


Throws
TypeError — If the skin hasn't been loaded and there is no videoDisplay.

play

()method 
public function play():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Causes the video to play. Can be called while the video is paused, stopped, or while the video is already playing.


Throws
TypeError — if the skin hasn't been loaded up yet and there's no videoDisplay.

seek

()method 
public function seek(time:Number):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Seeks to given time in the video. If the video is playing, continue playing from that point. If the video is paused, seek to that point and remain paused. If the video is stopped, seek to that point and enters paused state. This method has no effect with live video streams.

If time is less than 0 or NaN, throws exception. If time is past the end of the stream, or past the amount of file downloaded so far, then attempts to seek and, if it fails, it then recovers.

The playheadTime property might not have the expected value immediately after you call seek(). For a progressive download, you can seek only to a keyframe; therefore, a seek takes you to the time of the first keyframe after the specified time.

Note: When streaming, a seek always goes to the precise specified time even if the source FLV file doesn't have a keyframe there.

Seeking is asynchronous, so if you call the seek() method or set the playheadTime property, playheadTime does not update immediately.

Parameters

time:Number — The seek time, in seconds.


Throws
TypeError — if the skin hasn't been loaded up yet and there's no videoDisplay.

stop

()method 
public function stop():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Stops video playback. If autoRewind is set to true, rewinds to first frame. If video is already stopped, has no effect. To start playback again, call play().


Throws
TypeError — if the skin hasn't been loaded up yet and there's no videoDisplay.
