VideoPlayerAccImpl is the accessibility implementation class for spark.components.VideoPlayer.

When a Spark VideoPlayer is created, its accessibilityImplementation property is set to an instance of this class. The Flash Player then uses this class to allow MSAA clients such as screen readers to see and manipulate the VideoPlayer. See the mx.accessibility.AccImpl and flash.accessibility.AccessibilityImplementation classes for background information about accessibility implementation classes and MSAA.

Children

The VideoPlayer has six MSAA children:

  1. Play/Pause control
  2. Scrub control
  3. Play time indicator
  4. Mute control
  5. Volume control
  6. Full Screen control

The controls will always appear in the same order for accessibility regardless of the order of controls in the skin.

Role

The MSAA Role of a VideoPlayer is ROLE_SYSTEM_PANE.

The Role of each child control is:

  1. Play/Pause control: ROLE_SYSTEM_BUTTON
  2. Scrub control: ROLE_SYSTEM_SLIDER
  3. Play time indicator: ROLE_SYSTEM_STATICTEXT
  4. Mute control: ROLE_SYSTEM_BUTTON
  5. Volume control: ROLE_SYSTEM_SLIDER
  6. Full Screen control: ROLE_SYSTEM_BUTTON

Name

The MSAA Name of a VideoPlayer is, by default, specified by a locale-dependent resource. For the en_US locale, the name is "VideoPlayer". When wrapped in a FormItem element, this name is combined with the FormItem's label. To override this behavior, set the VideoPlayer's's accessibilityName property.

The Name of each child control is similarly specified by a resource. The en_US names are:

  1. Play/Pause control: "Play" or "Pause"
  2. Scrub control: "Scrub Bar"
  3. Play time indicator: the displayed text
  4. Mute control: "Muted" or "Not muted"
  5. Volume control: "Volume Bar"
  6. Full Screen control: "Full Screen"

To override the names of these child controls, reskin the VideoPlayer and set the accessibilityName of the controls.

Note that the Play/Pause control and the Mute control have MSAA Names which change as you interact with them. To specify them, set accessibilityName to a comma-separated list of MSAA Names, such as "Play,Pause" or "Not Muted,Muted".

When the Name of the VideoPlayer or one of its child controls changes, a VideoPlayer dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE with the proper childID for the control or 0 for itself.

Description

The MSAA Description of a VideoPlayer is, by default, the empty string, but you can set the VideoPlayer's accessibilityDescription property.

The Description of each child control is the empty string.

State

The MSAA State of a VideoPlayer is STATE_SYSTEM_NORMAL.

The State of each child control is:

  1. Play/Pause control:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED
  2. Scrub control:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED
  3. Play time indicator:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_READONLY
  4. Mute control:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED
  5. Volume control:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED
  6. Full Screen control:
    • STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE
    • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED

When the State of the VideoPlayer or one of its child controls changes, a VideoPlayer dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_STATECHANGE with the proper childID for the control or 0 for itself.

Value

A VideoPlayer does not have an MSAA Value.

THe Value of each child control is:

  1. Play/Pause control: no Value
  2. Scrub control: Value of slider as an amount of time
  3. Play time indicator: no Value
  4. Mute control: no Value
  5. Volume control: Value of slider
  6. Full Screen control: no Value

When the Value of a child control changes, a VideoPlayer dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_VALUECHANGE with the proper childID for the control.

Location

The MSAA Location of a VideoPlayer, or one of its child controls, is its bounding rectangle.

Default Action

A VideoPlayer does not have an MSAA DefaultAction.

The DefaultAction of each child control is:

  1. Play/Pause control: "Press"
  2. Scrub control: none
  3. Play time indicator: none
  4. Mute control: "Press"
  5. Volume control: none
  6. Full Screen control: "Press"

Performing the default action of one of the child controls will have the following effect:

  1. Play/Pause control: toggle between Play and Pause
  2. Scrub control: none
  3. Play time indicator: none
  4. Mute control: toggle between Mute and Not Muted
  5. Volume control: none
  6. Full Screen control: toogle Full Screen on and off

Focus

A VideoPlayer accepts focus. When it does so, it dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_FOCUS event.

Some of its child controls also accept focus:

  1. Play/Pause control: accepts focus
  2. Scrub control: accepts focus
  3. Play time indicator: does not accept focus
  4. Mute control: transfers focus to Volume Bar
  5. Volume control: accepts focus
  6. Full Screen control: accepts focus

When reporting focus, the VideoPlayer reports itself if it is focused and none of its child controls is focused. Otherwise, the focus may be reported as being on the Play/Pause control, the Scrub control, the Volume control, or the Full Screen control.

Selection

A VideoPlayer does not support selection in the MSAA sense.
