Classpublic class VideoEvent
InheritanceVideoEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10.2, AIR 3

This event class reports the current video rendering status. Use this event for the following purposes:

  • To find out when size of the Video display changes or is initialized. Use this event instead of polling for size changes. When you receive this event you can access Video.videoSize and Video.videoHeight to get the pixel dimensions of the video that is currently playing.
  • To find out whether the video is decoded by software or the GPU. If the status property returns "accelerated", you should switch to using the StageVideo class, if possible.
