FLVPlayback class 669

Description

Method; sets the scaleX and scaleY properties simultaneously. Because setting either one,

individually, can cause automatic resizing, setting them simultaneously can be more efficient

than setting the

scaleX and scaleY properties, individually.

autoSize is true, this method has no effect because the player sets its own dimensions. If

the

maintainAspectRatio property is true and autoSize is false, then changing scaleX

scaleY causes automatic resizing.

Example

The following example calls the setScale() method to scale the horizontal (x) and vertical

(y) dimensions of the FLVPlayback instance. The example sets the

maintainAspectRatio

property to

false to prevent automatic resizing and allow the scaling to appear as specified.

Drag an FLVPlayback component to the Stage, and give it an instance name of

my_FLVPlybk. Then add the following code to the Actions panel on Frame 1 of the

Timeline:

/**

Requires:

- FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of my_FLVPlybk

import mx.video.*;

my_FLVPlybk.maintainAspectRatio = false;

my_FLVPlybk.setScale(200, 175);

my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/

water.flv";
