Video.height
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_video.height:Number
Description
Property (read-only); an integer specifying the height of the video stream, in pixels. For live
streams, this value is the same as the
Camera.height property of the Camera object that is
capturing the video stream. For FLV files, this value is the height of the file that was exported
as FLV.
You may want to use this property, for example, to ensure that the user is seeing the video at the
same size at which it was captured, regardless of the actual size of the Video object on the Stage.
Example
Usage 1: The following example sets the height and width values of the Video object to match the
values of an FLV file. You should call this code after
NetStream.onStatus is invoked with a code
property of
NetStream.Buffer.Full. If you call it when the code property is
NetStream.Play.Start, the height and width values will be 0, because the Video object doesn’t
yet have the height and width of the loaded FLV file.
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_mc.my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("video1.flv");
my_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
switch (infoObject.code) {
case 'NetStream.Buffer.Full' :
my_mc._width = my_mc.my_video.width;
my_mc._height = my_mc.my_video.height;
break;
}
};
Usage 2: The following example lets the user press a button to set the height and width of a video
stream being displayed in the Flash Player to be the same as the height and width at which the
video stream was captured.
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_mc.my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("video1.flv");
resize_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_mc._width = my_mc.my_video.width;
