InheritanceStageVideoEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5, Flash Player 10.2

A StageVideo object dispatches a StageVideoEvent object after the attachNetStream() method of the StageVideo object and the play() method of the attached NetStream object have both been called. Also, depending on the platform, any change in the playing status can result in dispatching the event. The one type of StageVideoEvent is StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE.

StageVideoEvent

()Constructor
public function StageVideoEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, status:String = null, colorSpace:String = null)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5, Flash Player 10.2

Creates an Event object that contains information about StageVideo events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property. The one type of StageVideoEvent is StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.
 
status:String (default = null) — Indicates the status of the target StageVideo object.
 
colorSpace:String (default = null) — The color space used by the video being displayed.

RENDER_STATE

Constant 
public static const RENDER_STATE:String = "renderState"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5, Flash Player 10.2

The StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE constant defines the value of the type property of a renderState event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
colorSpaceThe available color spaces for displaying the video.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the StageVideoEvent object with an event listener.
statusIndicates whether the video is being rendered (decoded and displayed) by hardware or software, or not at all.
targetThe StageVideo object that changed state.

RENDER_STATUS_ACCELERATED

Constant 
public static const RENDER_STATUS_ACCELERATED:String = "accelerated"
Deprecated since Flash Player 10.2, AIR 3: Please Use flash.media.VideoStatus.ACCELERATED

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5

Indicates that hardware is decoding and displaying the video.

This value is one of the possible values of the StageVideoEvent object status property.

RENDER_STATUS_SOFTWARE

Constant 
public static const RENDER_STATUS_SOFTWARE:String = "software"
Deprecated since Flash Player 10.2, AIR 3: Please Use flash.media.VideoStatus.SOFTWARE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5

Indicates that software is decoding and displaying the video.

This value is one of the possible values of the StageVideoEvent object status property.

For example, if the platform does not support hardware decoding and display of the audio or video codec of the video, the StageVideoEvent object has this status value.

RENDER_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE

Constant 
public static const RENDER_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE:String = "unavailable"
Deprecated since Flash Player 10.2, AIR 3: Please Use flash.media.VideoStatus.UNAVAILABLE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2.5

Indicates that displaying the video using the StageVideo object is not possible.

This value is one of the possible values of the StageVideoEvent object status property.

For example, consider a platform that does not support decoding and displaying the video's audio or video codec with either software or hardware. In this case, the StageVideoEvent object has this status value.

This status value also is used if no hardware decoders are available. This situation can occur in AIR for TV. For backward compatibility with its previous releases, AIR for TV allows you to use a Video object for hardware decoding and display. By using a Video object, you are using the underlying hardware decoder and therefore you have one less StageVideo object available for use. Note that using a StageVideo object for hardware video decoding and display is recommended.
