ActionScript 3.0 :: To FullScreenSourceRect Or Not To FullScreenSourceRect?
Apr 19, 2010In the player I'm [eternally] building, I'm adding fullscreen support.SHORT VERSION:Is there any reason why I should definitely use fullScreenSourceRect over simply scaling up the FLV object? I know there's a hardware advantage to using it, but is it advisable to not use it with video that is, say, 768x432 with a bitrate of 700k? Would it be really, really awful to just scale it up?
LONG VERSION / CONTEXT:We've designed the player so that there's a sort of branded & titled header overlay and a player controls footer overlay that will show over the video when the mouse moves (and would hide after 1500ms of no movement).I'm playing with fullScreenSourceRect and I'm seeing that it literally just scales the source rectangle's pixels up, which would make both header & footer big blocky messes, incapable of displaying [cleanly] the branded graphic and title information we wanted to include.
