Property Detail
autoPlayproperty
autoPlay:Boolean

Determines if the video starts playing immediately when the videoSource property is set.

In the following example, automatic playback is disabled:

videoPlayer.autoPlay = false;


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

See also

bytesLoadedproperty 
bytesLoaded:uint  [read-only]

The number of bytes loaded for the current media.


Implementation
    public function get bytesLoaded():uint

See also

bytesTotalproperty 
bytesTotal:uint  [read-only]

The total number of bytes to load for the current media.


Implementation
    public function get bytesTotal():uint

See also

fullScreenDisplayStateproperty 
fullScreenDisplayState:String

When the video player is displayed full-screen, determines the value of the native stage's displayState property.

Using this property, it is possible to set the native stage's displayState property to StageDisplayState.NORMAL when the video player is in full screen mode. The video player will still be displayed as a modal pop-up that fills the entire Starling stage, in this situation.

In the following example, the display state for full-screen mode is changed:

videoPlayer.fullScreenDisplayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

The default value is StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE.


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

See also

globalStyleProviderproperty 
public static var globalStyleProvider:IStyleProvider

The default IStyleProvider for all VideoPlayer components.

The default value is null.

See also

hideRootWhenFullScreenproperty 
hideRootWhenFullScreen:Boolean

Determines if the Starling root display object is hidden when the video player switches to full screen mode. By hiding the root display object, rendering performance is optimized because Starling skips a portion of the display list that is obscured by the video player.

In the following example, the root display object isn't hidden when the video player is displayed in full screen:

videoPlayer.hideRootWhenFullScreen = false;

The default value is true.


Implementation
    public function get hideRootWhenFullScreen():Boolean
    public function set hideRootWhenFullScreen(value:Boolean):void
isFullScreenproperty 
isFullScreen:Boolean  [read-only]

Indicates if the video player is currently full screen or not. When the player is full screen, it will be displayed as a modal pop-up that fills the entire Starling stage. Depending on the value of fullScreenDisplayState, it may also change the value of the native stage's displayState property.


Implementation
    public function get isFullScreen():Boolean

See also

nativeHeightproperty 
nativeHeight:Number  [read-only]

The original, native height of the loaded video.


Implementation
    public function get nativeHeight():Number

See also

nativeWidthproperty 
nativeWidth:Number  [read-only]

The original, native width of the loaded video.


Implementation
    public function get nativeWidth():Number

See also

netConnectionFactoryproperty 
netConnectionFactory:Function

Creates the flash.net.NetConnection object used to play the video, and calls the connect() method. By default, a value of null is passed to the connect() method. To pass different parameters, you may use a custom netConnectionFactory.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function():NetConnection

In the following example, a custom factory for the NetConnection is passed to the video player:

videoPlayer.netConnectionFactory = function():NetConnection
{
    var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection.connect( command );
    return connection;
};


Implementation
    public function get netConnectionFactory():Function
    public function set netConnectionFactory(value:Function):void

See also

netStreamproperty 
netStream:NetStream  [read-only]

The flash.net.NetStream object used to play the video.


Implementation
    public function get netStream():NetStream

See also

netStreamFactoryproperty 
netStreamFactory:Function

Creates the flash.net.NetStream object used to play the video.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function(netConnection:NetConnection):NetStream

In the following example, a custom factory for the NetStream is passed to the video player:

videoPlayer.netConnectionFactory = function(netConnection:NetConnection):NetStream
{
    var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConnection);
    //change properties here
    return stream;
};


Implementation
    public function get netStreamFactory():Function
    public function set netStreamFactory(value:Function):void

See also

normalDisplayStateproperty 
normalDisplayState:String

When the video player is displayed normally (in other words, when it isn't full-screen), determines the value of the native stage's displayState property.

Using this property, it is possible to set the native stage's displayState property to StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN when the video player is not in full screen mode. This might be useful for mobile apps that should always display in full screen, while allowing a video player to toggle between filling the entire stage and displaying at a smaller size within its parent's layout.

In the following example, the display state for normal mode is changed:

videoPlayer.fullScreenDisplayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

The default value is StageDisplayState.NORMAL.


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

See also

soundTransformproperty 
soundTransform:SoundTransform

Controls properties of the currently playing audio, like volume and panning.


Implementation
    public function get soundTransform():SoundTransform
    public function set soundTransform(value:SoundTransform):void

See also

textureproperty 
texture:Texture  [read-only]

The texture used to display the video. This texture is not automatically rendered by the VideoPlayer component. A component like an ImageLoader should be added as a child of the VideoPlayer to display the texture when it is ready.

The texture property will initially return null. Listen for Event.READY to know when a valid texture is available to render.

In the following example, a listener is added for Event.READY, and the texture is displayed by an ImageLoader component:

function videoPlayer_readyHandler( event:Event ):void
{
    var view:ImageLoader = new ImageLoader();
    view.source = videoPlayer.texture;
    videoPlayer.addChildAt(view, 0);
}

videoPlayer.addEventListener( Event.READY, videoPlayer_readyHandler );


Implementation
    public function get texture():Texture

See also

videoSourceproperty 
videoSource:String

A string representing the video URL or any other accepted value that may be passed to the play() function of a NetStream object.

In the following example, a video file URL is passed in:

videoPlayer.videoSource = "http://example.com/video.m4v";


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

See also

Constructor Detail
VideoPlayer()Constructor
public function VideoPlayer()

Constructor.

Method Detail
toggleFullScreen()method
public function toggleFullScreen():void

Goes to full screen or returns to normal display.

When the player is full screen, it will be displayed as a modal pop-up that fills the entire Starling stage. Depending on the value of fullScreenDisplayState, it may also change the value of the native stage's displayState property.

When the player is displaying normally (in other words, when it is not full screen), it will be displayed in its parent's layout like any other Feathers component.
