Video.height

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_video.height

Description

Read-only property; 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.

// Clip is the instance name of the movie clip 
// that contains the video object "my_video".
_root.Clip._width = _root.Clip.my_video.width;
_root.Clip._height = _root.Clip.my_video.height;

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.

on (release) {
  _root.my_video._width = _root.my_video.width
  _root.my_video._height = _root.my_video.height
}
