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 Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 3 Runtime Versions: Flash9, AIR 1.1 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 `fillAlphas` property to 1, as the following example shows:

      <mx:Container backgroundColor="0x66CC66"/>
          <mx:ControlName ... fillAlphas="[1,1]"/>

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 `fillAlphas` property to 1, as the following example shows:

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);
            }

For more information on writing main.asc, see the FMS documentation.

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):void`

### autoPlay

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):void`

### autoRewind

property

`autoRewind:Boolean`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies whether the FLV file should be rewound 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.`

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the `autoRewindChanged` event.

Implementation
`public function get autoRewind():Boolean`
`public function set autoRewind(value:Boolean):void`

### border

### cuePoints

property

`cuePoints:Array`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The Array of cue points associated with the control. You can use this property to control cue points, or use the `cuePointManager` property.

You use cue points to trigger `cuePoint` events when the playback of your video reaches a specified location. To set cue points, you pass an Array to the `cuePoints` property.

Cue points embedded in the FLV are not available via `cuePoints` or `cuePointManager`. In order to retrieve them, you can access the `metadata` property or the `metadataReceived` event.

Each element of the Array contains two fields:

- The `name` field contains an arbitrary name of the cue point.
- The `time` field contains the playhead location, in seconds, of the VideoDisplay control with which the cue point is associated.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the `cuePointsChanged` event.

Implementation
`public function get cuePoints():Array`
`public function set cuePoints(value:Array):void`

### idleTimeout

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies whether the control should maintain the original aspect ratio while resizing the video.

The default value is `true.`

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the `maintainAspectRatioChanged` event.

Implementation
`public function get maintainAspectRatio():Boolean`
`public function set maintainAspectRatio(value:Boolean):void`

### metadata

property

`metadata:Object` [read-only]

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

An object that contains a metadata information packet that is received from a call to the `NetStream.onMetaData()` callback method, if available. Ready when the `metadataReceived` event is dispatched.

If the FLV file is encoded with the Flash 8 encoder, the `metadata` property contains the following information. Older FLV files contain 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:

- `type`—A String that specifies the type of cue point as either "navigation" or "event".
- `name`—A String that is the name of the cue point.
- `time`—A Number that is the time of the cue point in seconds with a precision of three decimal places (milliseconds).
- `parameters`—An optional Object that has name-value pairs that are designated by the user when creating the cue points.

`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 `audiodelay` value is `.038`, the video that started at time `0` in the source file starts at time `.038` in the FLV file.

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.

`audiodatarate` | A Number that is the kilobytes per second of audio.
`videocodecid` | A Number that is the codec version that was used to encode the video.
`framerate` | A Number that is the frame rate of the FLV file.
`videodatarate` | A Number that is the video data rate of the FLV file.
`height` | A Number that is the height of the FLV file.
`width` | A Number that is the width of the FLV file.
`duration` | A Number that specifies the duration of the FLV file in seconds.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the `metadataReceived` event.

Implementation
`public function get metadata():Object`

### playheadTime

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.
