Styles
Styles are either common or associated with a specific theme. If the style is common, it can be used with any theme. If a style is associated with a specific theme, it can only be used if your application uses that theme.
Common Styles
| Style | Description | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type: String CSS Inheritance: no The vertical distance in pixels from the top edge of the content area to the control's baseline position. | UIComponent | ||
borderSkin | Type: Class CSS Inheritance: no The border skin class of the component. The default value in all components that do not explicitly set their own default for the Halo theme is mx.skins.halo.HaloBorder
and for the Spark theme is mx.skins.spark.BorderSkin.
The Panel container has a default value of mx.skins.halo.PanelSkin
for the Halo theme and mx.skins.spark.BorderSkin for the Spark theme.
To determine the default value for a component, see the default.css file.
| VideoDisplay | ||
borderStyle | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Bounding box style. The possible values are "none", "solid",
"inset", and "outset".
The default value depends on the component class;
if not overridden for the class, the default value is "inset".
The default value for most Containers is "none".
The "inset" and "outset" values are only
valid with the halo theme.
| VideoDisplay | ||
| Type: String CSS Inheritance: no The vertical distance, in pixels, from the bottom edge of the component to the bottom edge of its parent container's content area. | UIComponent | ||
| Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Color of the component highlight when validation fails. | UIComponent | ||

Spark Theme Styles
| Style | Description | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
borderAlpha | Type: Number CSS Inheritance: no Theme: spark Alpha of the border. The default value is 1. | VideoDisplay | ||
borderColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo, spark Color of the border. The default value depends on the component class; if not overridden for the class, the default value is 0xB7BABC
for the Halo theme and 0x696969 for the Spark theme.
| VideoDisplay | ||
borderVisible | Type: Boolean CSS Inheritance: no Theme: spark Visibility of the border. The default value is true. | VideoDisplay | ||
| Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: spark The main color for a component. | UIComponent | ||
contentBackgroundAlpha | Type: Number CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: spark The alpha of the content background for this component. | VideoDisplay | ||

| VideoDisplay | ||
Halo Theme Styles
| Style | Description | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
backgroundAlpha | Type: Number CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Alpha level of the color defined by the backgroundColor
property, of the image or SWF file defined by the backgroundImage
style.
Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. For most controls, the default value is 1.0,
but for ToolTip controls, the default value is 0.95 and for Alert controls, the default value is 0.9.
The default value is 1.0. | VideoDisplay | ||
backgroundColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Background color of a component. You can have both a backgroundColor and a
backgroundImage set.
Some components do not have a background.
The DataGrid control ignores this style.
The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.
If both this style and the backgroundImage style
are undefined, the component has a transparent background.
For the Application container, this style specifies the background color while the application loads, and a background gradient while it is running. Flex calculates the gradient pattern between a color slightly darker than the specified color, and a color slightly lighter than the specified color. The default skins of most Flex controls are partially transparent. As a result, the background color of
a container partially "bleeds through" to controls that are in that container. You can avoid this by setting the
alpha values of the control's
<mx:Container backgroundColor="0x66CC66"/>
<mx:ControlName ... fillAlphas="[1,1]"/>
</mx:Container>
| VideoDisplay | ||
backgroundDisabledColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: halo Background color of the component when it is disabled. The global default value is undefined.
The default value for List controls is 0xDDDDDD (light gray).
If a container is disabled, the background is dimmed, and the degree of
dimming is controlled by the disabledOverlayAlpha style.
| VideoDisplay | ||
backgroundImage | Type: Object Format: File CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Background image of a component. This can be an absolute or relative URL or class. You can set either the backgroundColor or the
backgroundImage. The background image is displayed
on top of the background color.
The default value is undefined, meaning "not set".
If this style and the backgroundColor style are undefined,
the component has a transparent background.
The default skins of most Flex controls are partially transparent. As a result, the background image of
a container partially "bleeds through" to controls that are in that container. You can avoid this by setting the
alpha values of the control's
<mx:Container backgroundColor="0x66CC66"/>
<mx:ControlName ... fillAlphas="[1,1]"/>
</mx:Container>
| VideoDisplay | ||
backgroundSize | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Scales the image specified by backgroundImage
to different percentage sizes.
A value of "100%" stretches the image
to fit the entire component.
To specify a percentage value, you must include the percent sign (%).
The default for the Application container is 100%.
The default value for all other containers is auto, which maintains
the original size of the image.
| VideoDisplay | ||
borderColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo, spark Color of the border. The default value depends on the component class; if not overridden for the class, the default value is 0xB7BABC
for the Halo theme and 0x696969 for the Spark theme.
| VideoDisplay | ||
borderSides | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Bounding box sides. A space-delimited String that specifies the sides of the border to show. The String can contain "left", "top",
"right", and "bottom" in any order.
The default value is "left top right bottom",
which shows all four sides.
This style is only used when borderStyle is "solid".
| VideoDisplay | ||
borderThickness | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Bounding box thickness. Only used when borderStyle is set to "solid".
The default value is 1. | VideoDisplay | ||
cornerRadius | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Radius of component corners. The default value is 0. | VideoDisplay | ||
dropShadowColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: halo Color of the drop shadow. The default value is 0x000000. | VideoDisplay | ||
dropShadowEnabled | Type: Boolean CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Boolean property that specifies whether the component has a visible drop shadow. This style is used with borderStyle="solid".
The default value is false.
Note: For drop shadows to appear on containers, set
| VideoDisplay | ||
shadowDirection | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Direction of the drop shadow. Possible values are "left", "center",
and "right".
The default value is "center". | VideoDisplay | ||
shadowDistance | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Theme: halo Distance of the drop shadow. If the property is set to a negative value, the shadow appears above the component. The default value is 2. | VideoDisplay | ||
| Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: halo Theme color of a component. | UIComponent | ||
Public Constants
Property Detail
autoBandWidthDetection | property |
autoBandWidthDetection:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies whether the VideoDisplay control should use the built-in
automatic bandwidth detection feature.
When false, you do not require a main.asc file
on Flash Media Server (FMS) 2 to connect to FMS.
When true, you need to implement a main.asc
and store it in the directory structure of FMS.
The main.asc file must define the following functions:
application.onConnect = function(p_client, p_autoSenseBW) { //Add security code here. this.acceptConnection(p_client); if (p_autoSenseBW) this.calculateClientBw(p_client); else p_client.call("onBWDone"); }application.calculateClientBw = function(p_client) { // Add code to set the clients BandWidth. // Use p_client.getStats() which returns bytes_in // and bytes_Out and check your bandWidth using // p_client.call("onBWCheck", result, p_client.payload). p_client.call("onBWDone"); }Client.prototype.getStreamLength = function(p_streamName) { return Stream.length(p_streamName); }
The default value is false.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the autoBandWidthDetection event.
Implementation
public function get autoBandWidthDetection():Boolean public function set autoBandWidthDetection(value:Boolean):voidautoPlay | property |
autoPlay:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies whether the video should start 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 (and loading more if
autoSize or aspectRatio is set to
true).
In the case of an HTTP download, Flex starts downloading the stream
and shows the first frame.
The default value is true.
Implementation
public function get autoPlay():Boolean public function set autoPlay(value:Boolean):voidautoRewind | property |
autoRewind:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |

only the height, width, and duration values.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
canSeekToEnd | A Boolean value that is true if the FLV file is encoded with a keyframe on the last frame that allows seeking to the end of a progressive download movie clip. It is false if the FLV file is not encoded with a keyframe on the last frame. |
cuePoints | An Array of objects, one for each cue point embedded in the FLV file. Value is undefined if the FLV file does not contain any cue points. Each object has the following properties:
|
audiocodecid | A Number that indicates the audio codec (code/decode technique) that was used. |
audiodelay | A Number that represents time 0 in the source file from which the FLV file was encoded.
Video content is delayed for the short period of time that is required to synchronize the audio. For example, if the Note that the VideoDisplay class compensates for this delay in its time settings. This means that you can continue to use the time settings that you used in your the source file. |

Implementation
public function get metadata():ObjectplayheadTime | property |
playheadTime:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Playhead position, measured in seconds, since the video starting playing. The event object for many of the VideoPlay events include the playhead position so that you can determine the location in the video file where the event occurred.
Setting this property to a value in seconds performs a seek operation. If the video is currently playing, it continues playing from the new playhead position. If the video is paused, it seeks to the new playhead position and remains paused. If the video is stopped, it seeks to the new playhead position and enters the paused state. Setting this property has no effect with live video streams.
If the new playhead position is less than 0 or NaN, the control throws an exception. If the new playhead position is past the end of the video, or past the amount of the video file downloaded so far, then the control still attempts the seek.
For an FLV file, setting the playheadTime property seeks
to the keyframe closest to the specified position, where
keyframes are specified in the FLV file at the time of encoding.
Therefore, you might not seek to the exact time if there
is no keyframe specified at that position.
If player is in an unresponsive state, it queues the request.
This property throws an exception if set when no stream is
connected. Use the stateChange event and the
connected property to determine when it is
safe to set this property.
The default value is NaN.

play(), pause(), and stop() methods
and writes to the playHeadTime property are queued, and then
executed when the player enters the responsive state.
VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a stateChange event.
The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | false |
currentTarget | The Object that defines the
event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use
myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener,
myButton is the value of the currentTarget. |
playheadTime | The location of the playhead when the event occurs. |
state | The value of the
VideoDisplay.state property when the event occurs. |
stateResponsive | The value of the
VideoDisplay.stateResponsive property
when the event occurs. |
target | The Object that dispatched the event;
it is not always the Object listening for the event.
Use the currentTarget property to always access the
Object listening for the event. |
