DynamicStreamTrait defines the trait interface for media supporting dynamic stream switching. It can also be used as the base class for a more specific DynamicStreamTrait subclass.

Use the MediaElement.hasTrait(MediaTraitType.DYNAMIC_STREAM) method to query whether a media element has a trait of this type. If hasTrait(MediaTraitType.DYNAMIC_STREAM) returns true, use the MediaElement.getTrait(MediaTraitType.DYNAMIC_STREAM) method to get an object of this type.

Property Detail

autoSwitch

property

autoSwitch:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

OSMF 1.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Defines whether or not the trait should be in manual or auto-switch mode. If in manual mode the switchTo method can be used to manually switch to a specific stream.

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

currentIndex

property

currentIndex:int [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

OSMF 1.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The index of the current dynamic stream. Uses a zero-based index.

Implementation
public function get currentIndex():int

maxAllowedIndex

property

maxAllowedIndex:int

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

OSMF 1.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The maximum allowed index. This can be set at run-time to provide a ceiling for the switching profile, for example, to keep from switching up to a higher quality stream when the current video is too small to handle a higher quality stream. The default is the highest stream index.

Implementation
public function get maxAllowedIndex():int
public function set maxAllowedIndex(value:int):void

Throws

RangeError — If the specified index is less than zero or greater than the total number of dynamic streams.

numDynamicStreams

property

numDynamicStreams:int [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

OSMF 1.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The total number of dynamic streams.

Implementation
public function get numDynamicStreams():int

switching

property

switching:Boolean [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

OSMF 1.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Indicates whether or not a switch is currently in progress. This property will return true while a switch has been requested and the switch has not yet been acknowledged and no switch failure has occurred. Once the switch request has been acknowledged or a failure occurs, the property will return false.

Implementation
public function get switching():Boolean
