Toggling auto rewind on a Spark VideoPlayer control in Flex 4

by Peter deHaan on May 3, 2009

in VideoPlayer (Spark),beta1

The following example shows how you can toggle whether the video auto rewinds when the video ends in a Spark VideoPlayer control in Flex 4 by setting the Boolean autoRewind property.

The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.
For more information on getting started with Flex 4 and Flash Builder 4, see the official Adobe Flex Team blog.

        xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

    <s:VGroup horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:CheckBox id="checkBox"
                label="autoRewind"
                selected="true" />
        <s:VideoPlayer id="videoPlayer"
                source="http://helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv"
                autoRewind="{checkBox.selected}" />
    </s:VGroup>

</s:Application>

View source is enabled in the following example.

You can also set the autoRewind property using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">

    <s:VGroup horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:CheckBox id="checkBox"
                label="autoRewind"
                selected="false"
                change="videoPlayer.autoRewind = checkBox.selected;" />
        <s:VideoPlayer id="videoPlayer"
                source="http://helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv" />
    </s:VGroup>

</s:Application>

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.
