[RESOLVED] fullscreen flvplayback skin

[pumpkin2006]

i have an FLVPlayback component on my stage to play a single video.
im using a custom skin with a play/pause button and a full screen button.
i publish this and stick it in an HTML page and it all works as it's supposed to, hurah.

however, when i click the fullscreen button and the video plays fullscreen the SKIN for the flv pixelates as though it were an enlarged bitmap.

i know for a fact that all the flv skin components are vectors cos i made em.
wondered if skins automatically use cacheAsBitmap and if so is there a way to disable this???

it doesn't affect functionality but it just look horrible and it would be nice to be able to retain the crips vectors...

thanks!

Check your setting/property for your skin. There is an option to treat vector as bitmap.

thanks, where is this setting? on the flvplayback instance or in the external skins fla?

Sorry I thought that you were using a skin in your library not externally. I don't think you can set that option. Maybe recreate your skin larger and then use a scaled down version. You can also set a maximum Scale for your skin. Here is a link to some documentation on all settings for FLVplayback:

figured it out, just use:

myFLV.skinScaleMaximum = 1;

although this means importing the FLVplayback instance from the library so you'll need to use:

import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
var myFLV:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

addChild(myFLV);
myFLV.skin = "youexternalskin.swf";
myFLV.skinScaleMaximum = 1;
myFLV.source = "myvideoclip.flv";
myFLV.height=288;
myFLV.width=512;
myFLV.x=144;
myFLV.y=164;
myFLV.skinBackgroundColor = 0x000;
myFLV.skinBackgroundAlpha = 1;
