Description

Property; determines whether the MediaController component (or the controller subcomponent within the MediaPlayback component) is hidden when instantiated and only appears when the user moves the mouse over the controller's collapsed state.

The possible values for this property are as follows:

• "on" specifies that the controls are always expanded.
• "off" specifies that the controls are always collapsed.
• "auto" (the default) specifies that the control remains in the collapsed state until the user moves the mouse over the hit area. The hit area matches the area in which the collapsed control is drawn. The control remains expanded until the mouse leaves the hit area.

  NOTE

  The hit area expands and contracts with the controller.

Example

The following example keeps the controller open at all times:

myMedia.controllerPolicy = "on";
