Hmm -- so how do I find the 'skin' part? I was reading about parent vs owner
but both of these point to root1, which isn't the actual component...
Following the PureMVC/Fabrication thing, I've got the mediator sending it's
view -- which *should* be an instance of my COVideoPlayer class which extends
VideoPlayer but utilizes the skin:
<video:COVideoPlayer id="videoPlayer" width="100%" height="100%"
skinClass="com.creativity.player.skins.video.COVideoPlayerSkin" visible="true"
/>
So I'm not sure why the SkinnableComponent is the thing being sent around:
From the mediator:
public function get component():COVideoPlayer
{
return viewComponent as COVideoPlayer;
}
sending it out:
//sendNotification(PlayerConstants.FULL_SCREEN_DISPLAY_VIEW, component);
