Summary

A native iOS control, MPMoviePlayerController, that displays a movie.

Syntax

iosPlayer

Description

An iosPlayer(MPMoviePlayerController) control is created using a control type of "player".

On iOS versions prior to 4.2 you can only have a single iosPlayer in existence. Therefore on these iOS versions you can only create a single native player control at any one time, and while one is present you cannot use the play video command to play full screen videos.

On iOS versions 4.2 and later, while you can have multiple iosPlayer instances (and this multiple native player controls) simultaneously, only a single one can be playing at any one time.

note

The iosPlayer control is only available on iOS 4.0 and later.

note

For full details of what the MPMoviePlayerController is capable of, and background about it see the iOS reference document.
