Usage
myMedia.preferredHeight
Description
Property; set according to a FLV file’s default height value. This property applies only to FLV
media, because the height is fixed for MP3 files. This property can be used to set the height
and width properties (plus some margin for the component itself). The default value is
undefined if no FLV media is set.
Example
The following example sizes a MediaPlayback instance according to the media it is playing
and accounts for the pixel margin needed for the component instance:
if (myPlayback.contentPath != undefined) {
var mediaHeight:Number = myPlayback.preferredHeight;
var mediaWidth:Number = myPlayback.preferredWidth;
myPlayback.setSize((mediaWidth + 20), (mediaHeight + 70));
}
