The W3C HTML5 media playback API specifies a "play" method, which takes no args. There's also a "pause()" and "load()" method.
I'd like to implement the HTML5 media class to have a play() method, but we've already got one on LzView. I can override the "play()" method, although when we have a swf version of the class, we will have to match the existing arguments type signature in order to make the Flex compiler happy. It's not out of the question to override it, since all of the LzView.play() method args have default values, so calling it play() no args is OK. If I override play() on this class, I don't *think* it will cause anything to break, assuming that nobody tries to give it a resource and then expects to be able to use the LzView playback API on that. I just feel a little cheesy about doing this, even though I really want to have as compatible an API as possible. I could name it something else, like "start()" or something... -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [email protected]
