[Xerte] VideoIcon -> playheadTime

[Peter Huppertz]

This is what I am trying to do ... and unfortunately they don't bubble. E.g I wanted to listen to the metadataReceived event to get the duration of my video. I tried to add an eventListener to the videoIcon but the listener won't dispatch (the documentation says that it don't bubbles). Any other possibility to grab the metadata?
