	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. 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
baseline	Type: 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
bottom	Type: 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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 flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO.	VideoPlayer
errorSkin	Type: Class Name of the skin class to use for this component when a validation error occurs.	SkinnableComponent
focusSkin	Type: Class CSS Inheritance: no Skin used to draw the focus rectangle.	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. Embedded fonts increase the size of the SWF file (sometimes dramatically), but text is consistently displayed in the chosen font. Legal values are flash.text.engine.FontLookup.DEVICE, flash.text.engine.FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF, 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 DEVICE.	VideoPlayer
fontSize	Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: yes The size of the text in pixels. Legal values are numbers from 1 to 720 and 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 12.	VideoPlayer
fontStyle	Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes Style of text. May be `FontPosture.NORMAL`, for use in plain text, or `FontPosture.ITALIC` for italic. This property applies only to device fonts (`fontLookup` property is set to flash.text.engine.FontLookup.DEVICE). Legal values are flash.text.engine.FontPosture.NORMAL, flash.text.engine.FontPosture.ITALIC, 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 NORMAL.	VideoPlayer
fontWeight	Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes Weight of text. May be `FontWeight.NORMAL` for use in plain text, or `FontWeight.BOLD`. Applies only to device fonts (`fontLookup` property is set to flash.text.engine.FontLookup.DEVICE). Legal values are flash.text.engine.FontWeight.NORMAL, flash.text.engine.FontWeight.BOLD, 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 NORMAL.	VideoPlayer
fullScreenHideControlsDelay	Type: Number Format: Time CSS Inheritance: no The time, in milli-seconds, to wait in fullscreen mode with no user-interaction before hiding the video playback controls.

horizontalCenter	Type: String CSS Inheritance: no The horizontal distance in pixels from the center of the component's content area to the center of the component.	UIComponent
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. Legal values are flashx.textLayout.formats.JustificationRule.EAST_ASIAN, flashx.textLayout.formats.JustificationRule.SPACE, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO, 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 flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO.	VideoPlayer

Default value of `FormatValue.AUTO` is resolved to `JustificationStyle.PUSH_IN_KINSOKU` for all locales. The constants defined by the JustificationStyle class specify options for handling kinsoku characters, which are Japanese characters that cannot appear at either the beginning or end of a line. If you want looser text, specify `JustificationStyle.PUSH-OUT-ONLY`. If you want behavior that is like what you get with the `justificationRule` of `JustificationRule.SPACE`, use `JustificationStyle.PRIORITIZE-LEAST-ADJUSTMENT`. Legal values are flash.text.engine.JustificationStyle.PRIORITIZE_LEAST_ADJUSTMENT, flash.text.engine.JustificationStyle.PUSH_IN_KINSOKU, flash.text.engine.JustificationStyle.PUSH_OUT_ONLY, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO, 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 flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO.	VideoPlayer

ligatureLevel	Type: String CSS Inheritance: yes Controls which of the ligatures that are defined in the font may be used in the text. The ligatures that appear for each of these settings is dependent on the font. A ligature occurs where two or more letter-forms are joined as a single glyph. Ligatures usually replace consecutive characters sharing common components, such as the letter pairs 'fi', 'fl', or 'ae'. They are used with both Latin and Non-Latin character sets. The ligatures enabled by the values of the LigatureLevel class - `MINIMUM`, `COMMON`, `UNCOMMON`, and `EXOTIC` - are additive. Each value enables a new set of ligatures, but also includes those of the previous types. Note: When working with Arabic or Syriac fonts, `ligatureLevel` must be set to MINIMUM or above. Legal values are flash.text.engine.LigatureLevel.MINIMUM, flash.text.engine.LigatureLevel.COMMON, flash.text.engine.LigatureLevel.UNCOMMON, flash.text.engine.LigatureLevel.EXOTIC, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

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]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Current time of the playhead, measured in seconds, since the video starting playing.

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 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

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

videoObject

property

videoObject:Video [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The underlying flash player flash.media.Video object.

If the source is null, then there may be no underlying flash.media.Video object yet. In that case, videoObject returns null.

The default value is null.

Implementation
public function get videoObject():Video

volume

property

volume:Number

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The volume level, specified as a value between 0 and 1.

The default value is 1.

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

Implementation
public function get volume():Number
public function set volume(value:Number):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.
