Im wondering if anybody out there knows to calculate the distance between the top of a videoPlayer object and the top of the actual video area.

If you load a widescreen video with maintain aspect ratio on, you get dead space between the top and bottom of the player and video itself… those values are what Im after…

Is it possible to calculate this using the registration values?

Cheers.
