VideoDisplayIcon inherits from Canvas, and has a public property
videoDisplay. For some reason I've missed the VideoDisplay class out of
the ASDocs, but I'll add that in. For now, use the Flex 4 docs online.
 
The one problem I foresee is getting event listeners onto the
VideoDisplay itself - but they should bubble, so you can still attch
listeners to the icon..?

You should be able to - what does it say VideoIcon inherits from?
UICOmponent? Then it's a UI component. It has a member VideoDisplay -
thats the thing doing the actual video presentation. I haven't looked,
but unless somethig is wron, tha's how the documentation should be...

I think wrapping is not needed, because it creates a whole lot of more
work on your side?!

But how can I see, regarding the documentation, the difference between
properties I can apply directly to the videoicon and the properties that
I need to apply to videoicon.videoDisplay?

myVideoIcon.iconID works, myVideoIcon.playheadTime does not work. But I
can't see a difference in the documentation.
