Because this component does not define a skin for the mobile theme, Adobe recommends that you not use it in a mobile application. Alternatively, you can define your own mobile skin for the component. For more information, see Basics of mobile skinning.

The VideoPlayer control is a skinnable video player that supports progressive download, multi-bitrate streaming, and streaming video. It supports playback of FLV and F4v files. The VideoPlayer control contains a full-featured UI for controlling video playback.

VideoDisplay is the chromeless version that does not support skinning. It is useful when you do not want the user to interact with the control.

The VideoPlayer control has the following default characteristics:

CharacteristicDescription
Default size263 pixels wide by 184 pixels high

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

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.

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".

If no width, height, or constraints are specified on the component, this property has no effect.

The default value is "letterbox".



Implementation
    public function get scaleMode():String
    public function set scaleMode(value:String):void

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

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

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

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 currentTime 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, currentTime 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.
