[Xerte] VideoIcon -> playheadTime

[Peter Huppertz]

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.
